My dad was born in California on Dec. 26th of 1956, he was adpoted shortly after, the only thing I know about his biological parents are that they were irish and their last name was munson. I have no idea how to even start the process of finding them but would like to do so before it is too late. I have questions that anyone would have such as why they gave him up for adoption and I also want to know any of their medical history that may affect me or my children. Has anyone ever gone through this process beofre? And if so could you lead me in the right direction?

Why are you looking instead of your dad?

Unless you have a medical reason, adoption records will not be opened, and many of the options available to your dad are not available to you.

You can try posting on reunion websites like adoption.com, adoption.org, and ISSR.
