Answer 1

well, if it was me  in ur situation, i would just ask ur adoptive parents tho, they were the ones who adopted you, so they no the most about you

Answer 2

well it may be hard due to your age im so sorry that due to the situations there is no possible way to determine your nationalities, wait until you are 18 an you can hire a private investigator to tract down the hospital you where born in an they can find the records of your birth and possibly your natural mothers name an then do a search on her the only way to know for sure is to ask your natural mother yourself but dont be bummed if you dont know .. there is alot of kids who live with there natural parents who dont know the ethnicities of there families .. like my boyfriend his father has no idea what countrys his family came from .. i guess its just something some ppl are lucky to know an if you dont its no big deal . but the only way to know for sure is to get a detective when you are 18 to find your mother meet her and then ask her those questions  because only she would know ! or possibly her family memebers you could contact also ...  maybe your adoptive parents may know her an may have met her when you are born , if you are shy to tell them an are afraid to hurt them dont be im sure they are aware that the day would have come to where you would have wanted to know about your natural parents just be sensitive to there feelings and ask questions ....you have the right to know

good luck on your search best wishes to you

Answer 3

Most hospitals are not allowed to release that kind of information. It falls under patient confidentiality. Also, they may not even know who the parent is. The only way you would be able to find out is to have your adoptive parents research it. They may not know who your real parents are either. Since you are a minor, the powers that be probably won't tell you anything anyway. Most of the time you have to be an adult to get anywhere with them. Good Luck.

Answer 4

Best place to start is with the registration office - where your birth would have been registered - they normally have some details of adoptions. You may have difficulty doing any research until your 18 though. You can do a search for the register office for OC on the net.

Good Luck.

Answer 5

This sort of curiosity seems natural - I have heard of many cases like this.  I would think that your adoptive parents would expect it sooner or later.  I would say ask them.

As to the list of hospitals - go to yellowpages.com, plug in the name of the city or cities, and select the category "hospital".
