Steven Wayne (Stamey) DILBECK (Twin, Stolen by Hicks Clinic, adopted by Dilbeck, mother told he died at birth) (DNA-S, J, E)
1950–2021
BIRTH 20 JAN 1950 • McCaysville, Fannin, Georgia, USA

DEATH 14 DEC 2021 • Blue Ridge, Fannin County, Georgia, USA

Update:
Steven was one of the oldest of at least 200 babies illegally adopted out of the back door of the clinic of Dr. Thomas J. Hicks of McCaysville, Georgia. These babies have became known as "the Hicks babies". Many of the mother's were single and giving up their baby for adoption. For many other's who chose to keep their baby, Dr. Hicks would tell the mother their baby had died, all the while the baby was being handed over to the adopted parents at the back door of his clinic.

A great many of the mother's were induced and the babies were born with low birth weights, most likely for a planned pickup date for the adopted parents.

Steven's story and many others were featured on The Learning Channel show "Taken at Birth".

Steven's daughter is my DNA match.
Hoping to figure out how we are related.
Paternal side match, 4th -6th cousin per AncestryDNA.
