Please Help Me Find My Brother

A worn black and white photo that had been taken in a photo booth and some vague information is all I have. The sloppy handwriting on the back of the photo does not resemble my father's. I am under the assumption that the mother of this child is who wrote "Bruce Edward Sizemore, three months old, 12/01/68."

The death of my father, Rufus Sizemore, at the young age of forty-nine in November 1995 brought about this longing to locate my older half brother whom I have never met. Not much information regarding Bruce is known by by either my mother or my father's brother or sister. The accuracy of this information is also questionable.

Bruce Edward Sizemore
Bruce & Rufus
with his father, Rufus Sizemore
Three Months Old

Bruce Edward Sizemore was born to Linda Allison and Rufus Sizemore in Chicago, Illinois in September 1968. Since my father was not married to Ms. Allison, she was able to place Bruce for adoption without my father's permission.

Bruce was six months old when he was placed for adoption. Rumor has it that Ms. Allison's parents, who were residing in the state of Kentucky, were involved in the adoption of Bruce. The last time Ms. Allison contacted my father, which was in 1990, she was residing in Elkhart, Indiana.

Please E-mail me if you have any information regarding this matter. Thank you and God bless!
