How can i find my adopted child?

Question

My Daughter was adopted at age 6 and she is now 19. I want to find her, but i dont know where to start. Does anyone know of any free adoption searches online? please help me out!

thanks so much!

Answer 1

Yes, do a google search.

Answer 2

ok, everyone thinks kids who are adopted automatically hate their birth-parents, not so. you could contact the foster home (no orphanages now-a -days btw), adoption agency? i know ill be looking for my birth-mom when i can legally. you could possibly go through court?

and everyone : stop assuming about people who put their children up for adoption! you dont know the cercumstances (sp)! you dont know what happened that caused it, you dont know if they have changed! so stop being all mean to this woman, she just wants to find the child she has missed for so long.

good luck with you search!

hope this helps!!!

Answer 3

In some states there are ways to at least find out if your daughter is looking for you.

There's also website and such, but as I understand it if your daughter isn't looking for you it couldn't be pretty hard to find her.

You might have better luck asking this question in the Adoption section under Pregnancy and parenting.

Answer 4

Adoptiondatabase.org  is very useful, you can create a profile with all of your info, and search others profile. maybe you will be lucky and find your daughter.

I am searching for m daughter who is 19 as well. i havent seen her since she was 2 days old. i know the agency, but they won't release info to me as a birth parent. basically I have to sit and wait to see if she tries to contact me. I'm not sure if she even knows she is adopted.

Answer 5

Different states have different laws regarding adoption, so the first thing to do would be to contact the agency that facilitated the  adoption. There are many websites that offer information and registries for birth parents as well as adoptees. Google "adoption registry" , that is a good place to start. Who knows, she may already have registered herself looking for you.

By the way, not everyone wants to have a relationship with their birth parents, but some do. Since we don't know the particulars of your situatin, it is unfair of these people who have made judgements because you put your child up for adoption. Putting the welfare of the child first is a very loving thing to do. Too many people jump to conclusions without knowing the facts. Good luck to you. I hope it works out for you and your daughter.

AS I SAID--WE DON'T KNOW THE PARTICULARS OF THIS SITUATION AND THEREFORE SHOULDN'T JUMP TO ANY CONCLUSSIONS!

Answer 6

Answer 7

These may help, but only if she is looking for you too.

May the Lord bless you for putting her needs ahead of your own, 13 years ago. An awful lot of people judged you without knowing all the facts, didn't they?

Answer 8

You didn't mention where she was born, that does make a big difference as I'm Canadian and specialize in Canadian searches.

MYSTIC.

it's NOT  "a loving thing to do"   MOST real mothers are brainwashed into giving up their own children cause they are YOUNG.   don't jump to that conclusion either.

Answer 9
