I am trying to assist my friend in finding out information about her birth parents. She was born in Aug of 1939 and was know as Marilyn Lee prior to her adoption in 1941. We are unsure if she was with her birth mother (Virginia) in 1940 or with Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society. If she was with Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society but not in foster care, where were the children housed? We are waiting for a copy of her birth certificate but it will be month's away as they are backed up.
Thanks!
