Frustration big time - I completely understand.

I was pleased to hear you had not given up , its more a feeling of what more can I do and why on earth can't I find them.

One thing I did learn going through the searching period is patience...and lots of it. I was searching in Ontario, Canada but live in New Zealand ( long story)

I posted on as many sites as I could find but at the end of the day it was a Government agency ( at least I think it was) called the Adoption Disclosure Register.
As dlouis has posted below I would think the agency advised would possibly be the best option.
You mentioned your non-identifying info was in conflict with other information that you had - where did the other info come from??
My non-identifying info from the Childrens Aid in Toronto was pretty accurate but I have read posts where the non id was not completely true.

My b/mother only recently got a computer so all those years of posting on the internet were fruitless.
Also she felt she had no right to search for me - she had relinguished in 1963 and was basically told to move on and forget I was born!!

I wish you the very best of luck in your search - hang in there.
