(Isaac Lawton Martin), a native of Charlotte, NC, was born on September 23, 1978.

Three days after his birth he was adopted by Jerry and Charlotte Martin

in what would become the first recorded private adoption in Mecklenburg County. His biological mother, Stephanie Howe, was 16 years old at the time of his birth

and made the choice to give Ike to the Martin family in spite of the fact that

private adoption had never been legal in the state of North Carolina.
