Answer 1

I don't know where you live but here in UK there is the Freedom of Information Act. There are also free legal clinics at the Citizen's Advice Bureau. (1 hour sessions and you have to book in).  I just wanted to give some ideas. I hope you find out what you need to know.

Best wishes. UK

Answer 2

There is no way for you to find out.  Your bio father didn't want you to know obviously and this woman really should not have told you what she did.
