I am helping my very close friend search for a daughter she gave up to adoption 50 years ago. The child was born in the Michigan State University Hospital in E. Lansing on October 28, 1958. She weighed 8 pounds 15 ounces. The birth mother's name was Ann Maddy Collins. She was about 17 years old. We have searched the Micigan adoption registry and there is only one female with that birthdate. The name of that person was Karen Hess. It was a private adoption. The birth mother understood that the family adopting the baby was a doctor friend of the doctor that delivered her. We have contacted two different women by the name of Karen Hess who had that birthday. Neither was the right one.
