This is kind of hard to explain. My mother was illegally adopted in Long Beach, Ca 12/12/1942. According to a letter my mom's real mother's name was Luella Pratt. However Luella's mom was a nurse at the hospital my mom was born at, so they lied and said Luella's name was Carolanna Briley (which is my mom's adopted mothers name). Luella did not want to let any one know she had a baby, so according to my mothers birth certificate her adopted parents are her real parents. My adopted grandma acted like she really had my mom & never would talk about any part of it. Anybody in our family that might have known anything is passed away. So I want to know how to go about finding my mom's biological family if there's any out there. And no one knows any thing about the biological father.
