Additional Info
I have reason to believe the information I have about my adoption is false, I may be a Black baby or the product of an underground adoption. It is very possible that my birthmother was the daughter of a colleague of my adoptive father. I am told my mother, Laura Dale Jensen was a young unwed girl, who had at some point been married in Nogales to a man named Prater.
