I found out when I was in high school that my aunt had a daughter when she was about 18 that she adopted out. That would mean that my cousin would have been born about 1971 in or around Edinburg, Texas. The adopted parents contacted my parents to find out more about my aunt, and told my parents that she was attending Sam Houston State University in Texas (near Houston) and that she looked a lot like my aunt, but didn't give her name. Considering my aunt's sometimes bizarre behavior, it is unlikely they told this girl who her mother was. I have tried searching for birth records in Texas using my aunt's maiden name, but couldn't find anything. My aunt has been married about 5 times, so it is possible that I am using the wrong name. I would really like to find out who this person is and possibly contact her. I just don't know how to refine my search any more. My aunt isn't exactly on speaking terms with the family so contacting her has led nowhere.
