Additional Info
I am not sure of my daughter's adoptive name. I was told by the social worker, Maureen, that the adoptive parents kept one of the names I had given her. She had red hair at birth. I believe the adoptive parents lived on the peninsula San Mateo? maybe... She had a brother who was adopted also. Her adoptive father coached little league. I also am not sure of Dayton Shields age at this birth . He was around 22-24 years.
