Background
Guy Georges was born Guy Rampillon on 10 or 15 October 1962 to a French mother and an African American father (George Cartwright, U.S. military cook stationed at a NATO base). His mother, Helène Rampillon, had an older son named Stéphane, fathered by a white U.S. serviceman. Stéphane was raised by Helène's parents, who refused to raise Guy because he was Helène's second child and because of the stigmatization of mixed-race children in their hometown of Angers. After six years of moving between foster homes and his mother's care, Guy became a ward of the state and was placed with the Morin family. The Morins had previously cared for another black child who was taken back by the authorities; Guy was a "replacement child." The Morins had seven biological children and 13 foster children. In 1968, Guy's surname was changed to Georges (a patronymic). Helène Rampillon moved to California with her older son, where she wanted to marry another American serviceman.
