I just found out that although I was born in Michigan, my adoption was finalized in NEw York City. I had a feeling this was the case, as that is where my (adoptive) parents had been living before finding me and it's where I essentially grew up... Anyway, I have been making phone calls.. and I found a potential diamond in the rough - a woman who actually wanted to try and get me pointed in the right direction because she herself could not help me.. She told me about the Adoption Information Registry for New York and gave me this info:
(518)474-9600 (Albany)
New York State Department of Health
Adoption Information Registry
P.O. Box 2607
Albany, NY
12220-2602
I am calling today; i just got this info yesterday!!
Peace everyone!!
