Judy,
I'm receiving your emails but for some reason when I try to reply back to you it rejects. Is there another email you can provide me?
In response to your question, my sister Deborah and I were placed in the orphanage in 1958. I was four and she was five. We stayed there 7 years. I was placed in an uncle's home as a foster son and she, along with my other siblings were placed in an aunt's home. We stayed there for a couple of years until my maternal grandmother adopted us and changed our last name to Laton.
I'm currently working on a book about the history of the orphanage and my experiences there. I'd love to hear from you about your memories. One thing I hope to do is include memories from others in the book.
Please don't hesitate to call me. My home phone is (334) 361-7783.
Dave
