Answer 1

I am a biological mother who has been reunited with my daughter that I gave up for adoption at birth. I knew her information and she had some, it sounds like you have a good start with her birthdate and SS#. I went to Adoptionregistry.com and put my information on to a message board and she went there also. I got an email from her saying she thought I might be who she was looking for and gave me her phone number, it was her and we have been in touch now for 5 years. Don't give up, there are websites out there and if she is looking also you may find each other that way. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

Ironically, a good source is the church of Latter Day Saint's web site "family search.org". I'm not sure if they are related to the FLDS cult that is in the news or not, but they have an awful lot of records, more than I found on geneology.com, ancestry.com or reunion.com. It is free to search the site.

And good luck to you. I'm trying to find a grandparent right now myself.

Answer 3

send name and details through my profile, and I  will see what I can locate.  You cannot post info re living persons on the board.

btw, the LDS church respects the privacy of living persons, and does not keep records on them.

Answer 4

I don't know if you live in England but here you have to be 18 years old before you can find out details of your biological parents.  When you become 18 you can ask for your adoption file and they will arrange for a counsellor to be with you when you open up the file.  If you still want to meet your parents, then they will advise you and help you do this.  They have to contact your mother/father first and tell them you are looking for them.  They might have married and had other children by now and maybe not told their new family about you.  You have to be ready to hear this.  That's why it's so important to have the counsellor with you.  This is going to be quite a traumatic time for you.

Lastly don't expect everything to be champagne and roses.  That way you aren't disappointed and I hope you will be very very happy with the outcome.
