Additional Info
I was told that I am Mexican, Hawaiian and white and my birth mom gave me up for adoption without my birth dad's consent, once he found out I was adopted out and that my mom did drugs while pregnant with me he killed her and is serving life in prison. My father is full Native Hawaiian and my mother is half Mexican and half white. I have found a birth brother but sadly he had already died in Boise in 2007. I am looking for any birth family at all. My story is a complicated one; my mother Ramona was pregnant and chose Linda Lou Luther and her husband Mr. R Rancourt to adopt me. I went home with Linda and Mr. Rancourt for about a week until CPS came and took me because I tested positive for drugs and I did treatment in the hospital. My original birth certificate therefore says my birth mom is Linda Luther and her husband is my dad even though this is untrue which has been proven with medical paperwork proving Linda had a hysterectomy before I was born. At two weeks old I was adopted by the Douglas Wenberg and Debra Welborn family. Getting my original birth certificate got me nowhere because I do not have my real birth parents on it. I will do a DNA test as soon as I can, in the meantime if anyone thinks they are my family at all please reach out to me.
