Hi Everyone,
Thought I would repost what I have to date on my search. This a little
be long so please bare with me. I sure hope that someone reconizes at
least something or who I am searching for.

Here it goes.... I was born in Richlands, Virginia at Clinch Valley
Clinic on June 16, 1961. The Delivering doctor was Dr. R.E. Bower. I
was given the name of Bernice Ann Johnson at Birth. My B/Mother`s name
is Effie L. Johnson and was 23 years old ?? at the time of my birth.
My
B/Fathers name is Harry
S.
Johnson and he was 24 years old ?? at the time of my birth. I am very
sure that the ages of my b/parents have been altered. I have my B/moms
medical record number. I can`t get these records because I do not have
a
SSN to give them on her. I was born Premature but it is not stated how
premature I was born. I weighed 5 lbs 3/4 oz at birth and when I left
the hospital on June 18,1961 I only weighed 4 lbs. 13 oz.It states
that
parents were advised as to risks of taking baby. I was born at 7:25
A.M.
at Clinch Valley Clinic in Richlands Virginia on June 16,
1961. My Birth mother Effie was in Room B16 after my birth. It does
not
State on my birth records my length at birth. It also state that my
anormalies were premature. It also states on the b/cert that I was a
single birth. There is no Address of where my B/parents were living at
the time of my birth. It Just says they lived in the city. Now on my
Amended Birth Certificate from Virginia it has my A/parents listed as
my
parents and it states that I was born in Tazewell County, Richlands
Virginia. The B/cert Number is State Birth Number : 145-61-XXXXXX
Certificate Number is: 630
Now on Adoption:
I was brought to Charleston WV on December 12, 1961 to be placed with
my
A/parents. I was brought here by Harry S and Effie L Johnson. It
states
on the Consent to Adopt Form that Harry S Johnson being of the age of
24
years old and Effie L Johnson being the age of 23 years old and being
the parents of Bernice Ann Johnson age 6 months give our consent to
adoption of Bernice Ann Johnson to Carl R. Norris and Emma J. Norris
of
Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia. In the adoption papers I
have
which are the original copy to the Adoptive Parents it states that
Harry
S and Effie L Johnson were the Parents and that I was born in Wedlock
on
June 16, 1961. The Court Case numberis 397-A. The adoption was a
private
adoption. The lawyer that represented my Adoptive Parents was Wibur C
Frame. And the Judge was Herbert Richardson. It states that the
adoption
was Finalized on June 21, 1962 in Kanawha County Charleston West
Virginia. And That my name was to be changed to Bernice Ann Norris.
Which shows that my First and Middle name was not changed. Now I also
have another Birth Certificate that is issued in the State of West
Virginia which I do not completely understand how this could be but
here
is what it has on it:
Birth Certificate Number: 147-XXXXX
I do know that the Lawyer and Judge are deceased. Now the story that
has
been told to me by my A/Mother which is deceased and A/family is that
They had recieved a phone call about a baby that was going to be put
up
for adoption on December 12, 1961 and was asked if she was interested
in
taking this baby. Well being my A/Mother could not have children of
her
own she said yes she was and got ready to go to Charleston to get me.
She was taken to Charleston by my A/Fathers Mother and Father to pick
me
up. When they had got there they met at a hotel in Charleston with
Harry
and Effie to make the arrangements. They left the Hotel to go to a
Lawyers Office that was right down the street from this Hotel and
walked
in the lawyers office and had to Consent to Adopt drawn up. Now in the
meantime my A/Father did not know about me and was not the one to sign
the Consent. I was told that my A/GrandFather was the one to sign in
his
place. After the papers were signed they went back to the Hotel to get
what belongings I had. After that they went to the Greyhound bus
station
so Harry and Effie could leave and there was money exchanged. I do not
know how much
was involved. I have also been told by my A/Mother and other family
members that the reason I was put up for adoption is that they could
not
afford to keep me and that they had one other son prior to me that was
being raised by a B/Grandparent. And that there were also possible
sisters. And that my Brother was supposed to be 2 years older than me.
This is about all I know at this time.

Nobody on my groups can help me so can somebody help me here please?
I've been searching long and hard for years and years now.

Thanks to any search angles because I can't afford to pay anybody.

Countless people, professional searchers and otherwise have spent
hours upon hours and BERNICE, your birthmother was found!! She does
not wish contact, remember? Wake up and smell the Folgers and the
Pepperidge Farms!

You never have bothered up to follow leads on Harry Johnson either.
All you do is sit and rule your hundreds of search groups on your
web-tv, bawling because you can no longer enter into any MSN chats.

Stop wasting everybody's time here. You aren't serious about your
search and haven't done ****. Go away!
