The Parris Family
WE FOUND THEM!
Mark, Julie,
Billy, Dotti Jo, Allen, Timothy
Allen was born Allen Wayne Parris in
Milford, MA on 8/4/66 to Joyce and William Parris
He was put into foster care through the Massachussetts Department
of Social Services with brother Billy at the age of 2 in 1968
Foster family: Agnes and Herb Wagner in Hudson, MA.
They had periodic visitation with Joyce and the other
siblings on weekends.
Allen and Billy were put into pre-adoptive care with Edward Ullmann, Jr. in 1976.
Allen and Billy both were taken to Wellington Hall in 1977 by the
Mass. Dept. of Social Services to see if they could be seperated.
Allen was then adopted by Edward Ullmann, Jr. in 1977 at the age of 11 through the Mass. Dept. of Social Services.
The family was reunited in 1984 in Massachussetts. Everyone except Billy was there.
Allen went into the Marine Corps in 1984 and lost the phone
number to stay in contact.
No contact was made since 1984 UNTIL THIS YEAR!
We have found everyone now and the reunion couldn't be better. So many years lost but everyone has clicked back together like they were never apart.
