<DIV>Hi Joseph</DIV>
<DIV>The Sister's of Charity were in Vancouver, I have copies of testimony that my father and his adopted family had to go through for him to get part of his real mothers estate, the Sister's did not maintain the records, and the current sister's are not sure where they are at.</DIV>
<DIV>Of course this was in 1883 so who knows if there are any records.</DIV>

Waverly Children's Home in Portland, which is still in existence serves behavioral and emotionally disturbed kids now, but originally it was an orphanage and adoption center. It started way back in the 1800's. I don't know what records may still exist, but worth a call.</FONT><BR><PRE class=moz-signature cols="70"></PRE><BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:glenkc7mbm@comcast.net">glenkc7mbm@comcast.net</A> wrote:

<DIV>Interesting sites I was not aware of them.</DIV>
<DIV>My father was born in 1883 and placed for adoption with the Sisters Of Charity that summer and I had not gotton around to inquire of them where to find the adoption records, I see they do not have them.</DIV>
<DIV>I had thought of Providence when I seen the other inquiry about boarding scools,but did not post it glad you did.</DIV>
