Sadly I was helping the family of Benny Ray Miller to reunite. It took four search angels to help us find him.
He died August 1 2008. We are so sad. The family of 13 siblings are doing their best to move on. After many years of searching they are peicing their family together.
I am so unhappy with those people that we asked for help from who were not there.
The world is so wrong when we can not get help to find our loved ones!

I was born Aug. 27, 1976 at Lloyd Nolan hopital in Birmingham, AL. I was adopted when I was two months old. I wasn't given a name until I was adopted. I would like to find my birth mother, she was 12 years old.

I gave up my son for adoption in Pennsylvania in 1966.Records are sealed in my state,what can I do? Also, would the child's birth certificate be registered in the county he was born or the county I lived in at the time?

Troy,

My sons father left when my son was 6 months old. He is now 22 and would like to find his father. Haven't seen the father since 1987. Last I knew he was in jail in Michigan (I believe). I was called by a police Lt. telling me he had bilked 13 women out of money. He was being charged with forgery and theft. He would wine and dine one woman. Tell her that he had money coming in, and ask if he could borrow money until his came in. He would then find another woman and wine and dine her. If the woman wouldn't give him the money he would forge their signature on a check and get money any way. His name is Samuel David Poel. I believe him to be 50, born in 1958, in the month of August. I don't know much about his family or upbringing. He was a patholigical liar and he liked to start fires (that's why I had to kick him out). I believe he was born in New Hampshire or Michigan. I know he has a sister who is married. She had kids. He told me his parents were dead. I found out later they were still living. Don't know anything else about them. I do have his social security number from a past tax return. I don't want to see the man again, but my son wants to know his father. That's fine with me.

Troy and Staff,

My name is Charlotte and I would like to know how to locate my family in South Korea. My father was stationed there during the Vietnam War. He met my mother there and they had a son, Moon. However, before he was born, my dad was sent back to the U.S., where he sent for my mother and brother. My mother arrived in the U.S., without the baby. My mother told my father that my brother had passed away, but my father is not sure if he passed away or if she left him with her family in Korea. The process of getting my mother to the U.S. was incredibly difficult, so she may have left my brother behind, hoping to return for him later. Unfortunately, she passed away from cancer less than 5 years after she arrived here. I'm not sure if her family even knows that she has passed away. I would like to find them and also find out what happened to my brother. My father is in prison for abusing my sister and I throughout our childhoods. I was only 4 when my mother passed away and would love to find her family as they are all we have left. Any help on finding loved ones in Korea would be greatly appreciated. I have a picture of them and could probably obtain more information from her Korean friends, who came to the U.S. around the same time she did. Thank you....

I don't know how to start, I saw the show and thought maybe u guyz could help me out a little. Several years ago, my niece and nephew were taken away from my sister and her husband. They later lost their parental rights. I found out the children were being adopted by a very close family friend, we were happy to hear it. But, in 1999, they were back in the foster care system because their adoptive parents were very abusive. They beat my nephew and the other boy with a canoe paddle, sticks, belts, whatever they could use, over a period of time and molested my niece and her other adopted sister. One time, another adopted child got sick, threw up on the dinner plate and was told to eat it. The adopted parents were sentenced to jail (the male still "lives" there) but I can't seem to find either of the children. They changed their names. There was a missing childs poster for my niece, she ran away from the foster home in 2006 - I don't know what my nephew changed his name to - but I know their last name and the name of the people that adopted them - The male is a registered sex offender in the state of Hawaii by the name of Freddie Yadao. I just need help locating the kids. They need to know that my husband and I tried our best to bring them into our home where they belonged but the State denied us that opportunity because their mother is my sister and they said that once the parents lose their rights, the whole family does too. We had things set - made sure they had their own rooms, beds, etc....I made numerous calls to CPS in Hawaii - and after awhile, they stopped taking my calls - I think about them all the time, always wondering if they know how much we all love them - They'll never know this unless I find them.
