There was no adoption in this case however. After he was placed, my dad's grandmother came and got him from whatever orphanage he was in and raised him until he was 8 or 9. At that time he went back to live with his father and stepmother. <br>
I do not know if he was placed by his father or his mother's family after she died in 1922. I suspect it was his mother's family since mothers usually have the children and his dad had abandoned her when she became ill in 1921. <br>

a clue, a few years ago tried to research adoptions. I found at the archives there was books of all judges work and they were required to <br>
validate all cases. So adoptions were listed in that book with all other cases. If you know approxamite date of adoptio you can track it <br>
in that manner ? hope that helps <br>

I hope you have better luck then I did. The home was started in 1887. It is now called the Waverly Childrens Home. Although they do not do adoptions any more from what I understand, they still have all the old records. But for the early 1920's there is not much to go on. They do have a little.
