Adoption history?

Question

Is there a quick and free way to find out who my biological parents are?

Answer 1

no just keep writing and answering questions and hope some one sees it.

Answer 2

The quickest, easiest way would be to ask your real parents [my term for adoptive parents].  They may know and even if they don't, they can provide some good basic info that will help you in your search.

NOTE: PLEASE, PLEASE wait until well after Mother's Day to do this. Even mothers who are supportive of their child's search feel anxiety and/or pain when they find out that their child really wants to pursue a search.

After you get your basic info, go to http://www.isrr.net [be sure you don't go to www.isrr.com as it is not the legitimate site]. It probably won't be as quick as you'd like, but it is highly recommended and will likely save you a bunch of time and $$$.

Answer 3

To find out who they are? Or to find them for a reunion?

Anyway, my adoption was done through the state, so I went to the courthouse in my county of adoption and asked for my adoption records. They gave them to me to look at. It has all the information: names, etc. Now, I don't know if states keep records of all adoptions, or only the ones that were handled by them. If not, you will need to find out what adoption agency it was done through, and contact them (I think).

Or, there are some on line reunion registries. Adoption.com has one. You can put in your information, like date and state of birth and go through the results. If your biological mother/father happened to register on there, you could find them that way. There are other ones too. Try googling "adoption search" or "adoption reunion".

Those are the only free ways I know of. Good luck to you in your search.

(edit) To clarify, when I said "county of adoption" I meant the county I was adopted to, not from.

Answer 4

there are some adoption registries online you might want to try there.  Some states open records after the child is over 18 check on your local laws and see what they are.  But be careful your parents may not want to know who you are and that would hurt so bad.
