My birth mothers name is rebecca gurt maybe went by becky. She worked at the van de kamp (sp) factory there in gibbson. My birth father also worked there. She says he did not speak english but they obviously did some communicating. I was conceived around September '71.
Story goes that bio- father split town and went to laredo tx or nueve laredo mexico. She flew to laredo Texas to meet him. He no showed on her. I guess he was some where in that area. How can I find I man with no name and really no idea where he would be?

What are you looking to accomplish by meeting him? I myself am adopted and have no desire to meet my biological father (he didn't come to see my birth. We even gave him a second chance to see me and he was a no show)

I have met my birth mother about 15 years ago. For me it is just about seeing someone you look like. It was the coolest thing to see her and my half sister and see that I look like other people. I would just like to see him and see what his family looks like. Also I am ethnicly mexican america and I was raised by very "white" parents. It would be nice to see what that side of my biological family is like. I'm sure it's a 360 from how I grew up.
You know, my brother and sister feel the same way. Neither have wanted to meet their birth parents. Its just different for everyone I guess. Our parents have always been very suportive of the idea of us searching out our bio fam if we ever wanted to.

That's nice to hear. I've seen pictures of my biological mother and the funny thing is that I look nothing like her! I haven't seen any pics of my bio father so I think he's where I get most of my physical attributes from.
