Once there were two women who never knew each other,
One you do not remember,
The other you call mother.
Two different lives shaped to make yours one,
One became your guiding star,
The other became your sun.
The first gave you life,
And the second taught you to live in it.
The first gave you a need for love,
And the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality,
The other gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent,
The other gave you an aim.
One gave you emotions,
The other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile,
The other dried your tears.
One gave you up--it was all that she could do,
The other prayed for a child and God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me through your tears,
The age-old question through the years.
Heredity or environment-which are you a product of?
Neither my darling, neither.
Just two kinds of love.
Here is my info:
I am searching for BIRTH SIBLINGS born in West Palm Beach, FL.One baby (a male) was born Club Footed and adopted by someone who lived in Lake Clarke Shores, WPB. We think this was sometime around 1960. Your birth Certificate should say as follows:
Childs name: Infant DeBuhr or infant Schnabel
Mothers full maiden name: Hertha Hilma yonke
Color or race: White
BirthPlace: Crofton, Nebraska
Usual occupation: Waitress
Possible mailing address at the time could have been: P.O. Box 234 Riviera beach, FL.
Doctors name could have been: Samuel A. Manalan or Dr. Baldwin.
She never named any of the babies she gave up because she knew she was not going to keep them.
Birth mother signed the B/C as: Mrs. Hertha DeBuhr or Mrs. Hertha Schnabel.
We think there are 2 girls and 1 boy still out there and they may be looking too. These children would have been born AFTER 6-17-1947 and most likely the 3 girls after 1947 were one right after the other. The youngest being a boy born in or around 1960.
Birth mother Hertha was born in June 1922.
We think she may have had babies in these years:
Possible Baby/s born between 3-17-48 and 2-18-50
Possible/s baby born between 8-1-59 and 12-31-60
If you have access to your original birth certificate look for these name:
Hertha Hilma Nickname: Wilma
Maiden name: Yonke
Married names: DeBuhr/Schnabel
My mother was one of these adoptees, 4 total! We have found the birth family and are looking for the other adoptee siblings. They were born at either St Mary's and/or Good Samaritan hospitals. If anyone knows which medical record storage agency these hosp. use for old records please contact me.
