Sriketuchoi (sp?) family , 1964 - present
I am the biological daughter of Serm and Sopa Sriketuchoi/Sriketuchoy (sp?). I was born at Siriraj (sp?) hospital January 28, 1964 to these individuals who were 24 and 26 years old respectively. My adoptive parents, John and Marie Valenti (U.S. Army at the time) brought me to the U.S. sometime around 1966. They were apparently readily involved in the Thai government at the time (General Pong Pekanen (sp?) and other military higher-ups).
After much searching via the Internet and contacting the Director (I think that's her title?) who is retiring and discussing the possibility of placing an advertisement in a local Thai paper, nothing has come about since 1999/2000. I was also told that many medical/adoption records have been "archived" in some way due to a re-organization of some sort.
I am further told that I am possibly the fifth, sixth or seventh child born to the Sriketuchoi family, somewhere in a rural area of Thailand. Possibly "south." This is about all all the "direct" information I have to date. I would like to someday travel to Thailand to search on foot; however, at this time this is not possible. The only other individuals who might be able to assist have also been long lost (Pyoone, and Pongsi). I'm suspect the spellings may be somewhat different of course.
Any information, leads or search suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Anna
