Resources
Are you looking for a
birth parent or an adoptive child? If so, searching adoption records
may help locate your missing loved one.
Even though adoptive
parents become the legal parent of the child, state adoption
agencies maintain a record of the child's biological parents. In
most cases, this information is sealed. Some biological parents
never want their identity revealed.
Out of respect
for the birth parents, most adoption agencies will not disclose
confidential information such as the birth parent's name, address,
and so forth. On the other hand, sealed adoption records can be
revealed with a court order. Of course, this action involves
attorney and other legal fees. Fortunately, there are several
inexpensive ways to search adoption records. Consider the following
tips for locating an adoptive child or birth parents.
Adoption Reunion Registries: There are various online sources
for reuniting adoptive children with birth parents. Even if a parent
willing gave a child up for adoption, and requested sealed adoption
records, she may have a change of heart in the future. A few free
websites such as
www.registry.adoption.com contain a large database of
adoption records. After registering and creating a profile,
biological parents may easily search for birth children by
completing an adoptee search. Complete adoptee information section
