Because you have your non-ID info, I see 2 routes for you to go.

1. petition Suffolk court to open your file. If you have a valid medical reason it is not impossible (but by no means guaranteed). Call DSS at (800) 543-7508 and tell them you want to petition the court. They will give you a name and number at the court, and that person will tell you the procedure. In Essex I had to send a notarized letter, but in Suffolk it may be different.

2. Go back to the agency and see if they offer other searching resources. I'm not familiar with The Children's Center, but it is possible they will search for your parents for you (likely for a fee, if they will do it at all). At a minimum I think you would be able to put a waiver on file, so that if your biomom also placed a waiver, they would swap your contact info. Worth looking into.

I'd start with the petition, as it's free, and go from there.

Thanks for the info Matt. I have all ready tried to do a search via the Childerns Center but they were more then I can afford and they can not get my records open. I will try the peittion as my next step
