I can only speak for OHIO. I have been doing Adoptee/birthparent searches for many years and the CURRENT non-id-info is the first thing I ask for.
Without it, its almost impossible to find a birth mother.
if the info is good stuff.
If you have no idea what her height, hair color, eye color etc is how do you know when you find her? Also its wonderful to know if the birth mother was single[meaning never married] or had been married and divorced or what her marital status was when the child was born.
I hate it when they give a whole bunch of info on the birth father [knowing the birth fathers name is seldom if ever on the birth index.] unless the couple is married.
Of course I know OHIO is different than a lot of states in that we have the Birth Index and Supplemental Index that we use.
So maybe it wold always be best to specify what state you are referring to when mentioning these things.........it makes those searching think that is the way it is all over the world.
