Searching
Mary, I have a couple of suggestions. If possible, find an adoption support group in your area. In addition to the support that they could offer, they may be able to direct you to a reputable searcher or p.i. Having spent some time with a p.i today at noon picking his brain a tad, I have renewed respect for how much a good p.i. can do. Have you registered with ISRR?
Frankly, I think if I were searching and could afford it, I'd go to a good p.i. A reputable one may not charge if he can't find - many have that policy.
Even when records are sealed, you'd be amazed at how much you can find with tiny bits of into. I do know one adoptee whose hospital records played a crucial role in his search. Gather up all your documents, write down every tiny thing you know and find a good p.i. or searcher.
