Kimberly (Curtis) McComb was adopted 24 March 1977
Location: Montgomery, Alabama
Adoptive Parents Biological Parents
Father: Harris McComb Father: Gerald Eddins
Mother: Debbie Sessions McComb Mother: Sandy Curtis Walker

Kimberly was born on January 1, 1977 at Lyster Army Hospital on Fort Rucker military base, Dale county, Alabama. She was immediately put up for adoption through the State of Alabama Montgomery office. Her biological mother is Sandra Curtis Walker and her biological father is Gerald Eddins [1]


Kimberly was adopted on March 24, 1977 by Beck Harris McComb and Deborah Ann Sessions McComb through the State of Alabama Department of Human Resources in Montgomery, Alabama. [1]


Adoption Research

In August of 2000 the state of Alabama opened adoption records for adult adoptees. [2] On the day that the records were opened I mailed in my form requesting my original birth certificate. Within 3-4 weeks I received a copy of my original birth certificate with my biological mother’s name and the name and location of the hospital where I was born. Using the location of my birth I determined which high school in Dale county, Alabama she would have attended. Using the age she was when I was born assisted me in determine a range of years that she would have attended high school. Using this information, I went to the Carroll High School web page and searched for alumni lists that contained names and email addresses. I then email several alumni asking them if they knew Sandra Curtis and how to contact her because I had sensitive personal business to discuss with her. After about a week I finally received a reply from someone that knew her. The only holdup was that he wouldn’t tell me anything, he was only willing to pass my information on to her, so I agreed to that. [1] I can’t remember how long it was after giving him my information that it was I heard from her for the first time, but I can remember exactly what I was doing when I heard from her. I was sitting at my desk at home, talking to my mom on the phone and her exact words were “be careful you’re going to end up in her lap without being prepared for it.” Right about that time I received an instant message from my biological mother and told my mom “I think I just ended up in her lap.” [1]

Early Life & Education

1977 - 1980
After I was released from the hospital I went directly into the Alabama foster care system. I was in foster care until 24 Mar 1977 when my parents picked me up from the state Department of Human Resources in Montgomery, Alabama. My mom, Debbie McComb , was working at a friend’s law firm as a secretary when she received the call from DHR that they had a baby for her and my dad, Harris McComb . She got so excited she left his office unlocked and interrupted the court to tell him she had to leave and why. When they got to Montgomery, Alabama the social worker was trying to give them some basic non-identifying and health information about me but mom said all she could think about was hearing me in the next room.

Kim passed away December 13, 2020, I am trying to figure out how to adjust her death date.
Hello Alison,

We'll need to close her account first. Should you be on the trusted list when we do that so you can make future updates?

With kind regard, The WikiTree Team

Dear Kimberly,

As Leader of WikiTree's Puritan Great Migration Project, I'm conducting our yearly check-in with project members.

I've seen you've not been active recently. Typically we require folks to be actively involved to remain part of the PGM project, but it's been a tough year for all of us, and I hope you and yours are doing okay.

Please let me hear from you by November 16 if you'd like to stay involved in the PGM project. If I don't hear from you by that date, I'll assume that other priorities are taking your attention and we'll remove you from the project and its associated google group.

You are always welcome to rejoin the PGM project by answering our g2g "join" post.

Sincerely, Cheryl Skordahl PGM Project Leader

Kim passed away on December 13, 2020, I was trying to adjust death date but was given a error notice.
Alison, thank you for notifying PGM that Kim McComb passed away, we extend our sincere condolences and prayers to her family and friends.

Since her profile is private, I'll share her death with the WikiTree Team, and they will need to edit it.

Sincerely, Cheryl Skordahl, PGM Co-Leader

Hi Kimberly, I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago and hadn't heard back. Sometimes they go to spam. If you don't see the message, please let me know and I'll resend. Thanks! Emma~~Adoption Angels

Thank you for checking on my progress on WikiTree. Honestly, I couldn't be happier or more excited when my son introduced me to the site. I felt at home since day one. The site is easy to navigate and most processes are intuitive. Learning the terminology and site navigation is a little slow but then I feel it will come with time. One footstep at a time, one day at a time. The best part is that my son and I are working together on different legs of our tree. He hadn't expressed an interest in genealogy before and is now actively involved. I'm hoping he continues to carry the torch when I'm gone.

Thanks again! Darlene

thank you Kimberly for reaching out to me it helps knowing people are interested in your quest

So glad you were able to join the Roses for this year's SAT! It was great fun as always. Thank you for your contributions to the Tree. There are lots of challenges ahead and hope you'll be able to team up with the Roses again.

HI Kimberly, thanks for checking in with me. I am loving this site and all the helpful hints. I do have a question - as part of the research into my own extended family I have come across a family in that other family search free site that goes way back to 1400s. It doesn't appear that the details have been brought over to this site. Is this something I should pursue or should I leave it alone.

Hi Kimberly, thank you for checking on me. I’m still a bit confused when it comes to adding source info. I understand that adding ancestry sources isn’t the best way to go as others would have to have a paid account to view said records. I have downloaded copies of census records, marriage records, etc. but they are images, and it seems odd to add a ton of those type of images.

Hi Kimberly

I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago about the new-look Global Cemeteries Project but have not yet heard back from you. If you would like to continue in the project, please can you PM me your team(s) selections and your e-mail address for the Google group.

If I don’t hear back from you by this time next week I’ll assume you no longer wish to be in the project at this time.

Many thanks, Darren Kellett Project Coordinator for Membership
