SEARCHING

My sister and I were adopted when we were 4 and 5 and we have been searching for our biological father. We were born in Honolulu on April 7, 1966, and May 4, 1965. The state took us away to a foster home and we were adopted together by a Maiine family and taken to the mainland. Our mother, Emma Louise Keller, died when she was 26. She had brothers and a sister we contacted whieh brought us great joy. No one remembers my father's last name. He was tall, played Hawaiian music and was missing his front teeth. He was pure Hawaiian or FilipinoHawaiian. No matter what happened in the past, we would love to have our biological father back and know if we have any brothers and sisters. We are both married and have kids of our own. Wallaee Hensei 9120 NW 32nd Pi. Sunrise, FL 33351 Tel: 954-748-4293 Wendy Cordovez 4545 W.
