Hi All,

I am seeking anything at all on Susan Whatley and her family. Her name is the only name I have right now in her family. She had two Children (that I know of).. And they were adopted into The William Paulk family. Who was Susan`s family? Who was the Dad? Where did they go? why did she adopt out the two? Were there more kids? Where did they go? PLEASE help me with this.

Here is a copy of the court record..
