Cherie Adoption was not legal until 1927, so this would have been an informal arrangement. I would try to find this girl's birth cert (assuming she hadn't changed her name) to see who her parents were and then find out what happened to them. Its quite likely that she was related to her adopted parents in someway, or perhaps they were friends of her family. nell |
