LOOKING FOR BIRTH MOTHER - BETTY DIER 

I was born on December 26. 1945, in a hospital or a home for unwed mothers in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri to a 20 year old girl who I believe was named Betty Dier.  At the time of my birth she was 4’10” tall, weighing 103 pounds with blue eyes and brown hair.

(This name appears on a court document changing my birth name that I discovered in my parents lockbox following their deaths.)  I was originally named Darrell Dier. 

According to other court records I have been able to obtain, my birth mother’s family was of German descent.  Her father worked on the railroad.  She had 4 brothers and 5 sisters and at the time of my birth, she was a supervisor in a tabulating department of a publishing company.  I do not know where she lived, but there is some hearsay evidence of either northwest Missouri or southern Iowa, but this may not be factual. 

If you think you have information about who she is or was, would you contact me at the following email address:

If she is living, I expect nothing from her.  I simply wish to assure her that she made a good decision those many years ago.  I was raised by wonderful parents and have had a successful and happy life.  My hope is that her life was just as blessed. 

Thank you.
