My name is Dora Ardella Rose. My birthdate is 19 Nov 1965. I was born in either Wilke or Surry county, NC. I was adopted by Jesse Dalon Rose and Oma Marie Tilley.
I was told that the non-identifying information of my birth parents is as follows:
mother: born about 1946-47, forced to give up child but did not want to. Brown hair, about 5'7" tall and 135 pounds. She was told that there was a history of bad eyes in the family and a history of mental illness though not specified.
Birth father was said to be older and married. He was said to have spent time in jail for running bootleg but it was probably for tax evasion. He was said to have been about 5'5" tall, 135 pounds, and of a dark-skinned complexion.
Dora is unwell and just wants to know where she comes from so she can feel a sense of completion in her life. When her adopted parents died, the rest of her adopted family she believes rejected her.
If anyone can shed light on this please contact me at
