Are you in the US?

I doubt that posting on one of the adoption sites would be helpful to you.

If you are of legal age the only way to locate your birth parents is to ask your adoptive parents for the info.

Actually, ISRR is a great resource for children adopted through international adoptions. That is, as long as your biological are also looking.

Your age is very important here as far as getting ANY information. Depending on how old you are and what year your adoption happened, there are differing levels of ability to search for your biological parents.

Sorry about this and thanks for the correction. A friend of mine is an Attorney who does International Adoptions and I bounced off what she told me.

My advice was clearly incorrect.
