Hello - I would like to find my birth mother. I was born October 26, 1963 at Mid Island Hospital in Bethpage, New York. My birth name was Marjorie Brooks. I don't have any other information. I am not sure how to proceed but ANY information would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not too sure either. Perhaps hire a private investigator or try contacting adoption agencies. The more information that you can provide, the better.
