My sisters and I were placed in the custody of wahington state they adopted my sister out she is now 18 dose the department od children's services have to tell me how to contact her or help me in any way I am 21 shi is 18 ihavent seen her in 9 years

She is your family, you are part of hers. The adoption does not change your connection with her. So you have every right to see and contact her. Whoever you can remember delt with you and your sister the most should be the best contact person for you. If not, you cand always try agencies that help find people. You could even go on Facebook, n start a new club "looking for adopted siblings"... best of luck

Legally, this answer is wrong.

LEGALLY there is no longer any relationship between the two of them. He has NO LEGAL RIGHT to contact her, and the State of Washington most certainly does not have to provide him with that information.

There are several established reunion websites out there. The three best that I know of are adoption.com, adoption.org, and ISRR. Of these, though, I think the only one that has an option for a sibling search is ISRR--it's been a little while since I looked through the 3 of them. This is assuming, though, that your sister WANTS to be found by you.

Honestly---your BEST bet for finding her would be to contact a private detective, but that can get VERY expensive.

Since both of you are above the age of majority, you have a right to do whatever you want. She has a right to accept or reject your attempts at contact.

The state is under no obligation to provide you with anything, however.
