In addition to my search for my anonymous sperm donor, I have also been on a quest to locate my 27-year-old maternal half-brother with Down syndrome. He, too, was conceived through an anonymous Baylor student in Houston, Texas, but was placed up for adoption right after his birth in 1981. I have contacted the adoption agency (Spaulding), the lawyer involved in his adoption, and other organizations dealing with adoption and/or special needs in an attempt to get in touch with his parents. Nothing has worked thus far.
I know that my half-brother was adopted by a family in a specific city near Houston. His adoptive parents have two biological children without disabilities as well as two other adopted grown 'children' who also have Down syndrome.
If you know of a family that fits this profile or if you are aware of other resources/people that could assist with my search, please contact me.

Good luck with your search.
Thanks, Oli!
Kathleen,
Have you tried contacting places like Brookwood (which is in Brookshire) or other places where adults with disabilities live?
