Janice Lobaugh, a 48-year-old married mom of two who owns her own real estate company in Wasilla, Alaska, was just 17 when she was forced to give her 5-month-old baby boy, Therman Randall Blair, up for adoption.

"I had a very stressful childhood," Lobaugh told Yahoo! Shine in an interview on Friday. She and her younger sister discovered they were both pregnant on the same day, and their mother — a single mom already struggling to raise three kids — was not supportive. One Friday when Therman was just a few months old, Lobaugh left him with her mother so she could pick up her paycheck. When she called from a pay phone to check on him an hour or so later, her mom said that Therman wasn't there.
"I said, 'What do you mean he's not there? Where's my son?'" Lobaugh remembered. "She said, 'He got fussy, I couldn't deal with it. I called the police.'"
The police took the baby to a nearby social services organization; when Lobaugh went to go get him, the employees wouldn't let her see her son. Instead, they told her she needed to meet with a case worker the following Monday.
"So I went in and met with them," she told Yahoo! Shine. "The lady asked me if I had ever considered adoption, and I said, 'No.'"
"And she said, 'Janice, what do you want for your son?' And I said 'I want him to be loved, I want him to be in a good environment, I don't want him to be run through hell.'"
"I made the decision to put him up for adoption because I didn't have any options for the future," she told Yahoo! Shine, in tears.
Lobaugh visited her baby in foster care a few times, but she only found out that the adoption was in progress when his foster mom stopped her on the street. She told Lobaugh that the new family was changing Therman's name to Spencer Parrish.
"That was the last time I saw my son," Lobaugh told Yahoo! Shine.
She spent the next 30 years trying to find him. "Every time I'd see somebody with a small child, I'd look to see if it was him," she said, crying. "Never found him, never saw him." When she was 23, she asked state social services if she could contact the adoptive parents, and was told that it was a closed adoption and the family had left the state.
By 1997, Lobaugh was an Alaska state government employee. "So I would look to see if I could find him with the databases available to me," she told Yahoo! Shine. She started searching for him online, but Internet searches pulled up "pages and pages" of people named Spencer Parrish. "I had gone to some adoption sites and posted notices looking for my son, hoping he would find me," she said.
On February 21, 2013, she typed "Spencer Parrish" into Google, along with the last place she knew her son had lived: Juneau, Alaska. "And the first thing that popped up was a note that he wrote to me on Valentine's day, back in 2001," Lobaugh told Yahoo! Shine. He had posted the note — "Therman Randall Blair DOB Feb. 1983 looking for mother" — on Ancestry.com a few days after his 18th birthday.
They were part of 900 people that died when a factory building collapsed in Bangladeshi
Touching image of couple found embracing in the rubble of collapsed factory is shared around the world
A Haunting image has emerged of a couple who perished in the Bangladesh factory collapse – clutching each other as they died.
With rubble, dust and metal strewn around, the lifeless woman is seen doubled backwards as the man tenderly wraps his arms around her.
Reams of light-blue clothing material – which would have been made in the garment factory – wrap around the wreckage as a trail of blood runs from the man’s eyes.
More than 900 people are now known to have died – with around 2,500 people injured – in last month’s collapse of the factory near Bangladeshi capital Dhaka.
Paul Scholes will end his playing career at the end of this season.
Scholes, 38, previously announced his retirement at the end of the 2010/11 season, but made a shock return to the team on 8 January 2012 when he came on as a substitute in the FA Cup third round victory at Manchester City.
The midfielder was part of the new wave of talent that came through to the first-team during the mid-1990s, and has gone on to enjoy a long and successful career, making an incredible 716 appearances for Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson said: “Paul is a truly unbelievable player. He has always been fully committed to this club and it has been a real privilege to work with him for so many years. Paul will play at Old Trafford on Sunday against Swansea and will collect an unbelievable but well-deserved 11th Premier League medal."
Paul Scholes said: “Yes, I am finally hanging up my boots for good! Playing football is all I have ever wanted to do, and so to have had such a long and successful career at Manchester United, under the greatest manager of all time, has been an honour. The team has the right balance and will continue to thrive under the leadership of David Moyes.”
The rapper-turned-reggae singer gathered a group of 10 willing women, housing them in a bus that followed his own coach throughout his Playboy Tour in 2003.
The chart star – best known by his former name Snoop Dogg – admits he put his marriage to school sweetheart Shante Taylor at risk by pimping out his female entourage.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: “I put an organisation together. I had a bus follow me with 10 bítches on it.
“I could fire a bítch, f*** a bítch, get a new ho. It was my programme. City to city, titty to titty, hotel room to hotel room, athlete to athlete, entertainer to entertainer.
“If I’m in a city where the Denver Broncos or the (Denver) Nuggets play, I get a couple of their players to come hang out, pick and choose, and whichever one you like comes with a number.
“A lot of athletes bought p**** from me.”
Rather than keep the money earned for himself, he gave every cent to his clothes-shedding employees. He said: “I’d act like I’d take the money from the bítch, but I’d let her have it.
“It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp. As a kid, I dreamed of being a pimp; I dreamed of having cars and clothes and bítches to match.” Snoop heaped praise on his wife Shante, who “had to take a backseat” during his wild days of pimping.
He admits: “I love her to this day because she could shóok out on a n****, but she stayed in my corner.
“So when I decided to let it go, she was still there.” lol, funny snoop.
