What is the best easiest and free way to go about searching for a birthmother of 43yrs ago in ca?

Question

a friend of mine was born May 19th 1962 in Hermosa Beach Ca. He is looking for his Birth mother(for med. reasons) who's name was Sandra L. Kelley or Kelly. Is there anyway to go about this with out having to pay?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a free lunch, free adoption file or free making someone else do your homework.  Start at the local hospital archives.

Also look for change of name records.  She might have gotten married and hanged her name.

Answer 2

The CA birth index is online on ancestry.com.  I can tell you by searching his birth listing.  His mother's last name is Kelley.  To try to find her in the birth index you would need to know her age at the time of his birth to narrow the search. There are a lot of Sandra L Kelley's but the search can really be narrowed with this information.  CA is one of the easier states for adoption searches.  Once you have a person's birthday the search can be narrowed down to normally a few people.  I can try to help a little more if you want to e-mail me with more information.  No guarantees but this is a good possibility.

Answer 3

try myspace everbody has one

Answer 4

Hi,

I work for a forensic lab with the sherriffs office.

If your birth parents were ever "dna"ed by a crime-lab, that's a free place to start.

My last name is Kelly, but I think this is just oddly coincidence.

If you email me, i can send a photo of myself to strike for similiarity.

Answer 5

He could petition the court to get his adoption file and that might give him more information to go on.  It may give him a medical record as well as a Social Security Number and maybe even relatives.

This is one of the first things I would do...get that adoption file from the state of CA!

Answer 6

Go to Tina's Adoption Search and Reform!  They take you through every step and have wonderful links as well.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Use what information you do have, and search for any information that you can obtain from the Social Security

Department. Sometimes they allow a person to write a

letter to the birth parent, and the letter is forwarded to them.

You can always, have a ''Dear Editor" letter published in

many newspapers across the united states, by getting on

the internet, and searching for the Contact Us, part of the

newspapers:....such as   "CaliforniaNewspapers", as the

Editors do cooperate with this type of submissions.

You can always go to the Department of Social Services/

Dept. of Human Services, near where you are, and see if

they can help.

Legal Aid offices might be of some help too.

Send emails to other people in any state, asking to help

find your mother.

Also, you can contact the State Senator / State Represent-

ative, and even a U.S. Congressman, who represents your

area, and they will most likely help you in any way they can.

If  you are truly needing to contact the birth parent, for medical

reasons, you might try contacting any representative of the

NACCP. They have local representatives and members in

every state.  They will represent you, in YOUR RIGHT to

contact your birth parent.....and there is no cost for that

service.

My contact for that organization is:

Miller [e-mail]

You can email him, and he would surely do something on

your behalf. Do tell him your name, address, phone number,

an email address, and ALL INFORMATION, THAT YOU

HAVE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR BIRTH PARENTS...

and be sure and list the medical reasons, exactly as they are

from your medical papers, from the doctor who has diagnosed you with whatever illness, etc. you have...

they like to have proof, that what you say is a Fact.

They will be more help than you think they can be.

If you know where the adoption took place, or who handled

the adoption, then that would help too.
