Thanks for posting the poster she made…

“It’s been 10 years”… doesn’t say she’s ever seen him- maybe that’s how long she’s been looking ?
“last known location Atlanta, GA”- maybe that’s where the search went dry?
“He was not put up for adoption” - back in those days, babies were often taken without consent when pregnant teens were sent to ‘homes’ to be hidden from friends and family because of the shame of the pregnancy, and ‘what would the neighbors think?’ mentality. My birth mom did NOT want me taken away, but she had no choice if she ever wanted to return home, and had SO much shame dumped on her head about my existence, she was basically given no options… it was horrific and NO birth mom should be treated like that unless they have a history of harming their kids. It’s better now- but back then, it was a nightmare.

Nobody knows the full story for Nancy Thomas… the first date I can find for this posting is 2013… so she’d have been 37 when Donald was born. There’s some story behind this that none of us knows…. I just hope she can have some sort of happy ending- and that Thomas will be open to contacting her- if nothing else to find out what happened. <3
