Answer 1

I found a MN data base that you can register on https://www.quickbase.com/db/7c2gsmqv?a=... I wish you well in your search. If you haven't already asked your parents about the day you came to them ask, maybe they have little momentos or baby blanket from the hospital, id bracelet, maybe they can remember the social worker they worked with.

Answer 2

Minnesota as been in the headlines lately. A dirty open records access bill was recently vetoed by Tim Pawlenty MN's governor.

Here are your state laws for searching and access to information.

Obtaining Non-Identifying Information: Adoptive parents and adopted adults may obtain non-identifying information.

Obtaining Identifying Information: Identifying information is provided on the original birth certificate, which is released according to the provisions below.

Obtaining an Original Birth Certificate: An adopted adult can request a copy of the original birth certificate. At this time the Commissioner of Human Services will attempt to locate the natural parents to obtain consent to release the original birth certificate. If each natural parent is located and consents are given, the original birth certificate will be released. If there is no reply or contact with the natural parents, for adopted adults adopted before August 1, 1977, the adopted adult must petition the court for release of the original birth certificate. If the adoption was finalized on or after August 1, 1977, then the original birth certificate will be released to the adopted adult if the natural parents have not filed an access veto. ( VETOS are against adoptee rights, I do not support them in any way shape or form!! It is a violation of our human right to allow another human being to have power in our access to our ancestry )

Accessing Adoption Records: Adoption records are confidential for 100 years at which time they become public record. Attempt to petition the court, and definately get involved in legislative action!

Answer 3

Is it possible for you to find out the names of people who worked at the agency or hospital at that time? Then I would try and get information from them. I would also have my wallet with me. If you know her age, do you know what city she lived in? Check the schools and see if you can find her in the yearbooks. Or just start trying to call people that are listed in the yearbooks. Start with the men. Their names don't change.

Best wishes.

Answer 4

Well i think you should find the hospital that your were born in and get the birth certificate and then you might have the mothers name and the fathers name on the certificate. Then you should go to the police station and ask if the can find the name you have in their database. Hope you  find her. Good Luck!

Post on the website adoption.com

There are many people on that site...adoptive parents, hoping to adopt, birth mothers, adoptees...search angels (people who help you search for free)...it's really a good resource.

Answer 7

Your best bet is to register with your state and hopefully she has too. If she wants to meet  you I'm sure she will at some point but there might have been a reason she had a closed adoption (however open ones weren't common back in those days so she might not have known about them) Either way the best way to meet without being invasive is through the registries
