A PA Adoptee...

I too recommend going straight to the source - in my case that was Family & Children's services of Lancaster County. When I was 19 I applied for "Mutual Consent". At that time, the law in PA allowed me to start searching for bparents. I wrote a letter to the agency, they put me on "the search list" and a few months later I was contacted by a case workers. She sent me several "release" forms to sign and then attempted contact with my bmom. I was one of the blessed ones - she found her in a few months and we have been reunited for over 15 years now. At that time, bmom could also have requested mutual consent - I don't know what the law in PA states now, but you may want to read the actual law. Then get in touch with Catholic Social Services.

Good Luck to you!

Toby
