Do you know of a young American male, age 33, who is looking for his birth mom?

Question

I am not the birth mom here, but I am his aunt. My sister, his mom, died awhile back and am hoping my nephew is on Answers. :) I don't even know if he wants to be "found" - I've heard some adoptees are so angry at their birth parents for giving them up, that they wouldn't want to meet their birth family anyway. You can understand what a predicament I'm in?

Answer 1

i dont know but my aunt was adopted and we found her though a confedental intermediary. she said she may or may not ever be found or it could take a few months to a several years to find her. she found her in 6 weeks. my segestion is to look into a confedental intermediary and see if they can help. and if he was born in california then it might be near to impossible to find him. but mircales do happen and you may find him.

i hope you find him good luck and i am truly sorry about your lose with your sister. you know he may not even know he was adopted. some adopted parents never tell the children that they were adopted. so good luck.

Thousands of them. That question comes up on genealogy bulletin boards ALL the time. There is a special GenForum page for adoptions, and the Google Directory has a whole list of sites where bio parents looking for children they gave up can register or adopted children looking for their bio parents can register.

Write to me via my profile if you'd like links.

Answer 3

In the UK there is a system whereby you can register that you are "willing to be found".  This means that if your son is looking for you, your details will be made available to him.  Is it possible that such a system exists in the States?

Our Social Services (Fostering & Adoption Department) would be able to advise the procedure here.
