Are you Related to Me?

For several years now, I have been trying to find my birth mother and my half brother.  I have registered with various adoption organizations, and joined several Adoption Forums. To date, I have had no luck.

Now I think it is time to post the information on my website as a means to trying to locate my birth family.

Birth Name:	Baby Girl Parmentier
Adoptive Name:	Bonni Alisa Sugarman
Date of Birth:	February 28, 1963
Place of Birth:	Bellevue Hospital, NY, NY
Birth Mother's Name:	Norma Parmentier, aka Norma Santos, aka Norma Marina
Birth Father's Name:	Unknown
Attorney:	Stanley Cutler of Rosenhouse & Cutler, Somerset, NJ
Adoption Finalized:	April 24, 1964 in New Brunswick, NJ

Other Information:
Birth mother was married and while her husband was away in the service (it is thought that he was a sailor), she had an affair with her boss, and got pregnant. She decided to put me up for adoption.

I also learned that I have an older (half) brother who would be about three years older than I am. Not sure of any other siblings.

When I received my adoption papers, part of that information included a reference by the attorney to a "sister in law", which turned out to be one of my favorite aunts. My aunt told me that she actually met my birth mother and said that she was a "darling person". She did not have very much information, but her story did coincide with the one that my father told me.

I was adopted, at four days old, by a wonderful family who lived in East Brunswick, NJ. I had a very happy childhood, and I do consider myself lucky. However, my adoptive mother passed away in 2000, and my adoptive father currently has Alzheimer's Disease.

I now find myself wanting to find our more about my family history, my background, and with a bit of luck, find my birth mother, birth half brother, and any other family members out there.

I am not looking to upset anyone's life. I am not even sure that I am looking for an on-going relationship. Of course, if that happens, I would welcome it.

I just want to find out who I really am and where my roots are!
