People, places and events from the history of North Omaha, Nebraska by Adam Fletcher Sasse
Hello I was told that my husband’s interstate adoption was finalized by Immanuel Deaconess Institute of Omaha in 1963. My husband was born in Des Moines, Iowa in May of 1962, We are working on finding his biological family and would at the very least like to have his non-identifying information. However no one knows that I have talked to where those records would have gone after this facility closed. Do you have any idea where my husbands adoption records would be. Thank you for your time in reading this and your consideration in answering my question.
The only two ideas I have are:
1. Contact Immanuel Medical Center and ask them. https://www.chihealth.com/ContactUs
2. Contact the Nebraska State Historical Society and see if they have any of the records, and if not find out where they’d recommend you look. https://history.nebraska.gov/contact-us
Hope that’s useful to you Jeannene.
Jeannene,
Please feel free to reach out to us at the Nebraska State Historical Society. You can email our Reference staff directly with your question at nshs.reference@nebraska.gov.
My mother was adopted in Omaha, NE in 1930. I am wondering if there would be a way to retrieve records for review. I’m not sure that this where she was but am starting here. Thanks
No idea Kris–there were almost a dozen orphanages in North Omaha before 1970, and this was just one of them. I have no idea how to access the records. Good luck though…
