Searching for Birth Mom and half sibling. Mom born in Spain about 1945. Moved to New York City as a teenager with her mom. Married Frank Maselli at 18. They divorced in 1966 when I was born. He is not my father. I was born in Manhattan, and placed at NY Foundling Hospital at 2 months old. Birthmom lived at 1619 70th Ave, Brooklyn at time of my birth. Believe she was a nursing student.\\nBirth father from Kenya, was also a university student just as mom was. I was told my mom had a very young child with her in 1969 when she went to sign surrender papers. Would very much love to find my birth family. I have DNA tested with Ancestry, 23andme, and FtDNA. I found my father recently. He traveled to US from Kenya on the African Airlift Program, and studied at Ricks College in Idaho Falls, Brooklyn College, City College of NY and Fordham University. He was a professor for many years. Sadly, he passed in 2009.
