baby girl born 3-31-1980 Beatrice, NE Angela M Panabaker

Angela Marie Panabaker
DOB: March 31, 1980
Born: Beatrice, NE
Was living in Foster Care in Cheyenne County at time of Adoption.
Fathers name was not on Birth Certicate.
Mothers Name: Anna Louise Panabaker
DOB: July 23, 1963
Angela was 2-5 months old approx when she was taken from her mother and put up for adoption or at time of adoption.
I got some more info from birth mom and it's a little long sorry
Anna (birth mom)had a huge fight with her foster mother in 1980 within a day or so the state of Nebraska sent a worker to the home. The foster mother and state worker had a discussion which Anna was not included in. They then came to Anna and told her that if she didn't sign the papers of relinquishment Angela (the baby) would be in the state foster system until she was 18. Either way Anna was never gonna get Angela back. (I don't believe that Angela was in any way abused, personally I think that it was the foster mother's way of getting back at Anna forthe fight) Anna having been in and at the time still was in foster care and not having had good experiences decided that allowing Angela to be adopted would be a much better option for her then to stay in the system for 18 years. Anna believes a woman by the name of CATHY MAYOR (who lived just outside of Dalton at the time) was either the state employee who took Angela or the foster family that first fostered Angela.
Due to the fact that I am coming into an ongoing search some things have already been done that I am not aware of ie – ssn search – file is blocked. And somethings that should have been done are just now being done – isrr registration, contacting the state of Nebraska for any forms/info available.
Since my experience in searching has always been family history and friends I have a couple of questions for anyone who wants to answer -
The isrr paperwork requests a donation – not a problem but the birth family wants to wait for their bonus from work so that they can send a large donation, I feel it would be better to send a smaller one to at least get it going then if they still want to make a larger donation later they could do it at that time. I would like anyones input on this = if sending a larger one would be better then I will leave it alone if the size is of no real importance then I will push them to send a smaller one now and get the ball rolling.
How much help will the OBC be since we already know the mother, father is not listed and dob, birth name. ?
Would the hospital of birth be very helpful since Angela went home with birth mother and relinquishment wasn't for 2- 5 months ?
What if any help is the fact that Anna was also in the foster care system for several years?
Again sorry this is so long but I figure that every little piece of info may be helpful somehow.
