Family Medical History: Unknown/Adopted: How a Routine Inquiry Led to Unexpected Answers for an Adopted Woman

Knowing where you came from often determines who you areâ€¦

At the age of 46, Nancy Feldman knew how her doctor appointment would go. They would ask her about her familyâ€™s health history, and she would hear the doctorâ€™s familiar sigh after she answered, â€œI donâ€™t know, Iâ€™m adopted.â€

Being perfectly happy with the loving family she had, Feldman never took an interest in finding her biological parents until diagnosed with a disease that she passed on to her son. Suddenly, Nancyâ€™s lack of family history was affecting someone else.

Writing to the Nebraska Childrenâ€™s Home Society for help, the adoption agency assigned Nancyâ€™s case to Rebecca Crofoot. This began a 17-year journey between the two women who were determined to find information about a family that might not know, or want to know, Nancy existed.

Family Medical History: Unknown/Adopted is a heart-warming story of personal, medical, genealogical, and emotional discovery.
