I need help finding a Foster Parent

I have a very good friend, that was a foster child...

We have a few leads, the last was a web page ten years old.

To find his foster father ( and family ) will lead to finding his sister, and the trail is somewhat old.

The last link we have is a webpage with a non-working e-mail at Geocities.

I want to ask for links and means for tracking foster parent adoptions in California about in 1983.

This is an action FROM THE HEART.

No matter what I have to do - I want to make this happen for my friend.

HELP ME

FWIW: His foster parent at the time was a MARINE CORPS Staff Sargent stationed at Millington TN during the '90s.

~Wolf

Please use PM's or E-mail to respond for in depth info


I WILL find this mans PEOPLE!!!


EDIT:

In about 1984, he was seven years old - Thomas was at Naval Air Station Le Moore.

His foster Dad's last name was "Wessels".

There was a web site - http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3671/

But it appears to be no longer tended, the e-mail was a dead end (we tried it - it was undeliverable, although the web place still exists and is a beautiful resourse for foster parents)

Please help us find Thomas a link to his past...

GOD BLESS YOU!

i dont know if this idea will help or not, but would it be possible to contact whoever designed the website itself to find more information for contacting the company who payed to put it up on the web? that might help you contact the right people.

Go down to your local marine recuirting office and ask to speal to the meanest, oldest looking marine there and tell him what you are doing and why you are doing it. He will help you find a way to get the last location the man was stationed at and then you could contact the local post office for the last address change for his name.

Greywolf,

My wife and I are currently adopting a child through CPS and state adoptions in CA. Check your PMs for further info.

Contact me personally for any phone/address info
(Wipes brow of sweat)


Good luck

Hmm, interesting. The google ad at the bottom is listing "Foster Children for Sale" and "Discount Foster Children" on ebay! Go figure!

Loudfords - I hate to say this, but that idea was particularly ugly.

For christs sake try to be constructive.....

I know that nasty people exist, and they take advantage of orphans.

Those who think slavery doesnt exist are mistaken - it does.

Many children are stolen every year - AND SOLD.

Thus I find your comments strikingly abhorrent.

A private eye should be able to link you up within a very short period of time, I would not doubt if they would do it for free or a very low cost. Contact one in the area that he was last known or do a property search, or tax record via the court house where he was last known- often you will find a social security number- many web pages will find you someone via a social for around $20. My father was adopted and found his biological father while watching a tv special, come to find out after years of searching his father was very famous and important man - my dad never knowing him, had no idea. So, fate does have a way to return people in your life. Good luck

I know a few PI's -

Fairly devastating ones.

But I don't want to call them into this.

I think we can do this together without that

I can only add that Millington is basically an aviation training center. They have the usual compliment of base staff but aviation people are the focus of that base. You may want to ask some of the military forums and clubs for veterans of military aviation if they could help. I wish you luck.

Greywolf,

I Emailed you yesterday, not sure if it went thru. Ask Thomas if he heard either one of his parents talk about "Perry?" I'll want to know who the info is going to before I'll send it to you.

Greywolf, I was hoping to inject some humour into the situation, obviously it missed completely.

I know full well that children are bought and sold, I am not making light of that. I was merely pointing out that ebay in its zest to get people to visit their site grab keywords off the page without any discretion as to what it might say, that was what struck me as funny. Perhaps they should pay more attention to their advertising policy.

Sorry to offend you.

Good luck with your search.

Sorry about that Loudfords -

I guess I was a bit stressed after spending a lot of time on dead end searches that night.

And I know what you mean - certain web services will advertise in a way that is totally useless but seems to provide a related link to whatever topic is being discussed.

Um...

It occurs to me that a bit more personal info is in this thread than might be concidered prudent. I'm going to ask Tim Lamkin to trim out any addresses or phone numbers listed out in the open here - names possibly as well.
Those should have been PM'd in retrospect, instead of posting them outright.
(FYI)
