    Finding birth parents from a closed adoption
    But even if you have all of the information listed above, where do you go to try to find your birth parents?

    It looks like your question has been moved to its own thread, so there is no longer a #4 post.

    Our Adoption expert is on a short vacation, but may have some downtime and check the site, and then offer input. Other members too will possibly respond. Please check back now and then.

    In a thread on closed adoption, Synnen had responded with this --

    "What state are you in? Several states allow you to get medical and non-identifying information through the county records offices.

    Beyond that, you can use reunion websites using the information you have--sometimes all you need is a date and a city born for a match. Adoption.com and ISRR are two of the best.

    You can also contact the adoption agency used to see if they have a letter from your birthparents, or if they are able to get medical information for you.

    If your medical situation is life-threatening, you may be able to go through the courts to get your adoption information unsealed to get medical information as well."

    What makes you think your birth parents want to be found? What makes you think you have the right to intrude on their lives if they don't want you to?

    The way to find your birth parents is to register with sites that try to match adoptees with birth parents who want to be found.
