You are adopted. Where do you begin to find birthparents?

Question

Answers pertaining to Australia would be great. Other info. welcome too. Where do you begin the search? Have you been successful? Any advice for me?

Answer 1

I would start with your adopted parents. They will have info on where your adopted from and it may or may not have the names of the birth parents. If you find out where you were adopted from like what agency, they can get in touch with the birth parents and see if they are open to meeting you

Answer 2

I  am  adopted . ask  adoptive  parents   were  they  adopted  you    from  . keep  your  hopes  high  and   when  you  meet  your   parents  you   are   pretty  nervous and  feel  they   have  betrayed. beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest    of  luck

Answer 3

HI I AM ADOPTED.  THIS CAN BE A VERY HARD TASK.  DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIO PARENTS?  I'D BEGIN BY ASKING YOUR ORPHANAGE, ABOUT YOUR PAST.  HOPE THIS HELPS!=)

Answer 4

I wish you much success in finding your birthparents.

God bless you all the way.

And thanks for giving me such a good? answer to my Q.

Answer 5

if it was me I would get an attorney.

Answer 6

I would start with your parents who adopted you and also look at your birth certificate and go from there.

Answer 7

i dont know if this applies to Australia or not, but what i did was got my birth cert. the one i had my whole life, not the one my birth mother signed. i went to the courthouse in the county i was adopted through. there they sent me to the dept of marriage/birth/death certificates.

i filled out some forms and they registered me into the adoption registry. they took the info i gave them and the case number at the top of my birth certificate and matched me up with my birth mother. she also registered a couple of years before.

i guess the case number stays the same, even through adoption.

i truly hope this helps. i wish you the best of luck. dont get discouraged, if it doesnt work the first time, try again.
