Answer 1

My mom was adopted and knew nothing either. She had to petition the court to get her records unsealed. It was a long fight but when she was 40 years old we finally found our blood family!!! Good luck you will be in my prayers.

Answer 2

Go to Tina's Adopiton Search web page and they will teach you step by step how to search.  Good luck!

Answer 3

I would find out first if you're adopted parents renamed you or if you have your original name. Once you know your original name they should be able to trace that through the hospital. It would depend on the hospital's privacy policy but they may be able to help you.

Answer 4

I don't know if this would help you but try asking the adoption agency if they have any other records. or maybe the hospital you were born at might have info i am not sure they can give any names out. good luck sorry if i was not any help

Answer 5

I really doesn't know how to help but I wish you all the best of luck to find your family.

Answer 6

Last year, I helped a family member find a child given up for adoption in 1961. We did it by posting on every available adoption registry. A few months later, her son started searching for his birth parents and found what we had posted right away.

Do a search for "adoption registries" and register everywhere, then say a little prayer.

Best wishes,

Answer 7

You don't mention your adoptive parents, but try asking them.  If that's not possible, ask other family members for the possible whereabouts of your adoption papers.  If you can get ahold of them, that's a WONDERFUL start.  You can then contact the exact agency that did the adoption and get ahold of your birth parents records.  I wish you the best of luck in your search.  My mother was adopted and is, at the age of 53, trying to find out what her birth name was.  It was changed when she was adopted.
