I am looking for any information about Kansas City Cradle...?
Kansas City Cradle was an adoption agency formed in Kansas City, MO. It became an afiliate of St. Luke's Hospital in 1945, but further information of location of adoption files is unknown. Any assistance would be helpful...a man is looking for surviving biological family members and biological family history. His birth name was ROY ROGERS.
