Well I have the same problem I was put into foster care when I was about 7 years of age I know who my mother is as I lived with her up until the age of 7 but it has always been in the back of my mind I don't know who my father is and I have not any money to pay for the websites that can locate people you have lost.

On my advise I would say go to Find A Friend People Search but it does cost a bit of money that why I can not do this but if you have the money then go for it. Also it has a police record so if this person that you are lookig for has been involved with the police they can find him/her a lot more easly.

Thank you and if any one has any ideas for a free finding please let me know thanks

Oka I must say that I had some luck the other day. What I did was called the adoption home. I was in Children Home Society when I was placed for adoption. I came to find that what they will do is send a packet and after the fee is $400 for a reunion but for anything else like the name isn't much. I can't pay for it right know neither but what I am going to do is wait for my boyfriend to get the job and he gets paid he said he would help me. At some time we could talk in a private note or anything

Coy,
I haven't read all of your posts. But I just wanted to make a quick reply. If that is OK.
Please register with as many registries on the internet that you can find. THE FREE ONES!
Register with International Search and Support. Adoption.com. PR adoptee search and support sites, etc. You can try: yahoogroups, googlegroups, etc. Put: Puerto Rican Adoptee in your browser, and see what comes up. Or join a search group called: Soaring Angels.
They are very helpful and supportive.
See if you can get any non-id information.
If an adoption agency was used or foster care agency.
Put your date of birth in your Google browser and see what comes up.
That's a start.
