    Searching for Son
    I gave up my son for adoption in 1966. He was born on June 29, 1966 in Niagara Falls General Hospital, Niagara Falls, Ontario. How do I go about finding this forever wanted son.

    Start with the adoption agency. Even if they will not give you information (And they probably will not) ask to leave a letter in his file with your contact information.

    Next, go to the courthouse in the county he was born, and do the same thing. It's next to impossible for you to access his birth records/adoption records, but you CAN leave a letter in his file with your contact information.

    Note that some agencies and some counties/states charge for this.

    Next, start going to adoption boards. Adoption.com and adoption.org are two that have great reunion lists. Another great site is ISSR http://www.plumsite.com/isrr/

    Remember, too, that your son may not WANT a reunion. Be sure to contact him through a third party if you DO find him, and be willing to honor his wishes in the matter.
