Searching For Biological Father, WILLIAM PARKER, Lived On Knott Ave., Buena Park California in 1968
My biological mother, Colleen Monahan, met my biological father in 1968 on Knott Ave. in Buena Park, California. She was living in an apartment there and she met Bill Parker who also lived in the apartment complex with a relative of his. There was a Halloween party and I was conceived. Colleen found out that she was pregnant with me after Bill moved back to Texas and she couldn’t locate him to tell him.
I was born nine months later and given up for adoption at birth. After spending a couple months in foster care, I was adopted.
I met my biological mother, Colleen, when I was 18. We are close friends today. She describes my biological father as being about 25 years old in 1968. He had dark hair, dark eyes, and a medium complexion. She thought he might have been a construction worker and originally from Texas.
If any of this sounds familiar, or you know a relative who fits this description, I would appreciate a response. If it doesn’t ring a bell, thank you so much for your time and have a great day!

How I Was Surreptitiously Removed From The Parker Family Tree
Men have been denied their rights, as fathers, to raise their children.
Too many states allow a woman to relinquish her child for adoption without the child's father ever being found and notified that he has a child. Too many fathers have been kept completely in the dark, either intentionally or unintentionally, and are unaware that they even impregnated someone!
A father's rights are often terminated without his consent. This is a shameful act perpetrated by the

- Hi - sorry, i doubt so - my grandfather henry parker moved from Michigan, and setteld in LA, but then by 1927 moved to Ojai. he then returned after his wife's death, my grandmother in 1936 back to Michigan. The Parker tree came from Long Eaton, and like many Parker's, there are some Willaims in the tree. I will keep an eye out for any connection, but your dates are later than my research is going - i'm looking into 1700s and 1800s, as the 1900s is pretty clear. That said, there is a Fredrick Parker, who had a son William, In Defiance Ohio and William would be in his 90s now. I Think.

I also have a uncle jimmy, and elvin who we call champ. I am not sure of there cousins. All of these parker men lived in that area around my grandparents off of knott. I can ask my mom about her cousins.

William D. Parker said… - Sorry, can't help you. I'm not sure our Parker side is even connected to this one. In the Mid 1800's they came from Penn. / NJ. area and settled in Iowa. I've never lived in California. There are 4 or 5 William Parker's in the Garland, TX phone book and none are related to me.
Good luck with your search. In 1968 I was a freshman in College in IA.
