Answer 3

I tried an organization called ALMA when I was looking but the thing is the person you are searching for has to registered also.

Answer 4

Have you talked with your mother? Meaning maybe she can tell you what adoption agency she went through or what social services she went thru. I do think i should warn you that the journey you are about to go on can be very emtional. You may come up aganist many dead-ends before you find her. Not only that if you do find her, will she want to meet you? I'm not saying this to be mean. Sometimes it's a long and sometime painful journey. whatever happens the best to you!!!

Answer 5

Sign up and search through as many registries as possible.  Always remember to keep your details up-to-date

The largest and most successful is

http://www.isrr.net/

You will need to print of the form and mail it in.

This one is very successful

http://registry.adoption.com/

And ALMA

http://www.almasociety.org/

Washington Adoption Reunion Movement is at

http://www.warmsearch.org/

Contact Washington State to find out if they have a State run mutual consent registry

If she has not yet registered with the registries, don't lose hope - not everyone knows they exist. You may find a search angel helpful - they know the ropes and can guide you in  your search

A PI can cost thousands of $ but may be worth looking into

Good luck finding your sister!  keep checking myspace - lots of people have found each other that way.  Try searching by Date of birth, if you have it 'cos her  name has probably changed.

Answer 6

I take it from your question that you can't get anymore information from your mother??

If you can find out what year she was born - you can put your details onto ISRR (a reunion register) and if she also signs up there - they will match your details - and get in touch with you.

Check out their website -

There are some search wizzes who visit here - so hopefully more ideas will be forthcoming.

I wish you luck.
