Trying to find a relative given up for adoption?

Question

I just recently found out that my grandma had given up a son around 1941. I found a website that my sister had posted info to in hopes of finding him but had no luck. Does anyone know of any websites that would do better at finding him or more info about him so we can locate him.

Answer 1

don't do it.  He is over 65 and he may not want any contact.  If you do contact him, he may feel like his privasy has been invaded.  He has his own family and he is not looking for you or he would have found you by now.

Why in the world do you want to do this?  You don't have the right to do it.

Answer 2

what phil said (issr).  also, depending on the state, you can hook up with those searches, and in 6 states there are open records.  is your grandmother still alive?

Answer 3

There are many websites.  Some reunion registries are mail in only and the one that she must register with is ISRR.

Google "reunion registries" and register with all national ones as well as state specific registries (state where he was born)

Answer 4

http://www.isrr.net

That's your first stop.  The more information you can find out about birthdate, birthplace, etc. the better your chances.  There are many other resources (depending on your state and the state where the adoption took place).  Find out everything you can about this child.  That will help your search immensely.  

Good luck.
