Additional Info
There are two brothers, James Christopher and Christopher Luis. Could go just by Cruz or DeLeon-Cruz. We share the same father. They were born sometime in the late 70s, and parents were married. They were given up at about 3 and 5 years old. When they were given up for adoption, the adoptive parents agreed to keep their last names. They were planning to be moved out of state after the adoption. Our father is Puerto Rican, right from the island. Virginia is still alive, but refuses contact with me in regards to finding Christopher and James. I am registered with NYS for the adoption registry because I am a biological sibling. I am the youngest, and the only girl born in 1987.
