Hi, I'm 18 and I just fled an abusive home life. I need to find my real mother as soon as possible. I have so many questions and I haven't been allowed to talk to her for a VERY long time. I haven't a credit card so I can't do those online searches. Please help me

You are adopted?

Yes

There is a sticky at the top of the Adoption Forum that may help you. Also, remember, she may not want to be found. Keep that in mind.

Thank you, I just checked it out... I'm adopted by my step mother and she was the one who was abusing me so I can't ask her for help! Lol. I just really need my mother right now

And how old are you.

Have you asked your father about her, how about other family members, fathers brothers and sisters.

My father kept me away from her and despised her for whatever reason. I know my mother loved me and was forced to disown me. I need her now that I can have her in my life and I just need help doing that

I don't know what to do

Have you tried the local library or lesure center? She might have visited them and they could have a record of her. I hope this helps.
