How do I find information about my biological parents/siblings?

Question

I am adopted and I do know some information about my biological parents. All of it is "unidentifying" information, and unfortunately the adoption agency no longer exists. Any ideas on where to begin? If you have had any success or no success at all, please let me know what you did.

Answer 1

Here is a U.S. Congressman who may shed some light on

your predicament. I do believe that some laws need to be

adjusted, where the adoption process is concerned, because

from all I've noticed with people who I've lived around, almost

all persons who are raised in "Adoptive" homes, do go back

to see where they came from.

You did not list your information, so I don't know what to

tell you so much, in the pathway to take, there should be

some type of Records somewhere, even though the

Adoption Agency does no longer exist.

Get on the internet and contact :

   inhofe.senate.gov

He is from the State of Oklahoma, but I'm sure that he will

guide you in the right direction. Tell him that Too Funny

asked you to contact him.

Any State Senator can help too. They know the laws of that

State.  And  you can contact Legal Aid too, and see what

they've got to say.

It is never a good thing to ''give up'' though. I wish you the

best of luck.    Sincerely, TF

Try geneaology.com or a similar site designed to research one's personal history. They offer services in finding the information you are looking for. It was not adoption, but I found information on a relative whose name no one could remember. While doing so, I stumbled across all kinds of tools that might help you. I saw a spot on 60 minutes where they said how important it is for adoptees to know their history. Good luck.

Answer 3

each states laws are different.  Need more information to give you specific direction.

Here is a site where you can search your states laws.

http://laws.adoption.com/statutes/state-...

Some states are easier to search than others, CA, TX, OH, KY, NC,  because their birth records are available either online or on indexes that are held by many searchers.

If they agency is closed, their records had to have been transferred to somewhere.  This information should be traceable.  I have heard of some agencies using regional offices to store their records.  Your records are somewhere unless lost in a natural disaster.

Answer 4

You might try asking the hospital where you were born.  Do a search here too- http://registry.adoption.com/

Good luck!

Answer 5

Im adopted as well, and i always wanted to know stuff aswell, but was afraid to ask my parents because i thought i would offend them, so i went one of those websites where you find lost relatives...kindof like a family tree place, and i found there name and location, but it cost me 40 dollars. I dont know any cheaper ways, sorry.

Hope you can find them!!

Answer 6

My son will be luckier than you as I have that info now on his biological siblings.  I say this so maybe future adoptive parents might consider it.I got that when meeting the birth mother. There should have been a lawyer who handled the case if you get his name, he may have something in his files to help you. .  Good luck
