To start, my name is Rosalee Gardner - Lindenmuth

Known information about my son.


Birth date: May 10th, 1967 or 5/10/67
Birth place: Manhattan, Kansas
Adoption place: Columbus, Georgia
Birth name : Grant Gardner / Lindenmuth
Adoption type: Closed
His Current Age would be 41 years old
I think about him a lot, and I realize that I made a big mistake in keeping the adoption closed. I would really like to meet my son, who I love with my whole heart.

If you know anyone like this, or you yourself are like this, please share any information

Thank you so much, and God Bless.

I am also at a point to where I would like to locate a son I gave up for adoption. I have wondered all these years about him but never got the courage to try and locate him. I totally understand how you feel and was wondering if you have had any luck with your search.

1. Call the adoption agency used. They will tell you what steps you need to take to leave your information with them, and will usually let you know if your child has left information for you.

2. Do the same thing at the court house in the counties where the adoption was finalized and where the birth took place.

3. Log in to sites like adoption.com, adoption.org and ISRR (International Search and Reunion website--one of the largest reunion sites on the web)

4. Make sure to make all contact through a third party if you do find your child. There are some people who absolutely do NOT want to meet,and some that do not even know they are adopted.

5. Realize that closed adoptions are HARD to open, and that you will have a long and frustrating road ahead of you if your child is not also looking for you.

Best of luck to you.

Hi Pamy1959. No luck yet. But I have put a lot of information out there. I'm just hoping to get a bite. If you want to try to locate your son, go for it. Don't be afraid. I know it can be hard, cause I too was scared.

do your best and I promise you won't regret it =]
