    Helping friend locate sister!
    Hi!After reading the some of the posts about finding a missing person I thought I give it shot.

    My friend is looking for her who was in foster care and later adapted by the family because her mother was on drugs at the time. She was raised by her grandma but she could not take the sister due to the father behavior. He didn't what the grandma to have but he didn't want her and harass the grandma everday until she could not take it.We tried everything and I am doing everything to help along with friends. The following is what I know:
    Mother name:sheila sanders
    Father name:donald russell
    Sister missing:lavetta sanders russell
    Foster care agency last known:little flower in NY
    Places lived:NY, Florida, upstate NY
    Age:26
    Birthdate:December
    Birthplace: Brooklyn, NY
    Foster mother name:unknown
    Ethicy:black, no known birthmark
    Realtives:shameeka, rasheen, and jamillah sanders. Leslie sanders is the grandma.

    That's all we know and we tried to find info with foster care agency and it did not help. We tried a lot of people search engines and still lookinh this is a big website and by God's grace someone might know her.

    Thanks in advance
    Also I will add more info we I get more. My mission is to help bring this family together.

    All right, just trying to link the family members together to make this a bit easier.

    Are the following names correct to the best of your knowledge?

    Is Sheila Y. Sanders (dob)(09-06-1961) ?
    Shameeka E. Sanders ?
    Rasheen D. Sanders ?
    Jamillah A. Sanders ?
    Lessie or Leslie Sanders ?

    Also, do you know if Lavettas last name at birth was "Sanders" or "Russell" ?

    Hi Stephanie, this is Shameeka, liz told me made contact with her. We try to send you a pm and a message to your email, but was unable because to because your account would not let us.

    Our family, my mother, Rasheen and I tried to find you but we were unable. Everyone wants to see them and will like to spend time with Sierra and Amin. The only picture I have of Sierra is when she was little and none of Amin. I hope you come back here so when can talk. If possible email me @[email protected] asap so we can make plans. They have cousins that will like to meet them. Thank You.

    We would like to thank amhd because even though we did not find the sister, we found the niece and nephew and they have talked. If I did not post the inquire about the sister the mother(Stephanie) would not have found anyone in this family, so it was useful.

    To everyone looking for a lost one never give up because you never know what could happen. I wish everyone luck in their search and hope everyone have a happy ending.

    To make this one complete we only need to find Lavette and one day we will. We'll never give up.
