Maxine Soape was my biological mother. She gave birth to 3 children. Myself, another girl 3 years younger than me, and a boy, named Danny Lynn Butler who died when only 7 hours old. My adoptive parents were going to adopt him also. When Maxine came back to them is the time we all found out I had a half sister. I am still searching. Basil Collins Stroud was my biological father. My adoptive parents were Lavie leah Chashire and Rufus Watson (R.W.) Butler. They owned and operated Butler's grocery in Gladewater where I was born. I have more pictures of Maxine that I will upload as soon as I can find them and one of her as a very young girl. I hope my information helps anyone else seeking information about Maxine.
