I would love to receive pictures of my birth parents. I was born in Morristown, NJ. Born in All Souls Hospital now called morristown hosptial. I was born January 23, 1958. My mothers maiden name was Patricia Ann O'Connell.
I do not know my birth fathers name. I know the records are sealed. How can I find out names and receive medical information and pictures etc..

What have you done in a search so far?

Closed adoptions are sealed for a reason--unless you have compelling medical reasons to have them unsealed, they will remain sealed.

However, if your birthparents are looking for you as well, there are several ways you might get a reunion.

There is a sticky in the adoption forums that gives the best ways to start looking--I've attached the link here: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/adoption/looking-birthparents-children-given-adoption-401680.html
