Additional Info
From St. Paul’s Cathedral I was referred to Catholic Charities and then to Elizabeth Duncan of Glasport, Pennsylvania. I believe her book detailing adoptions was to be given to Catholic Charities upon her death. Elizabeth Duncan died in 1999. There was SO much misinformation given to the birth mothers. Please help me find my daughter.
