Arrow Searching Resources in your state of adoption

WELCOME TO THE SEARCH AND REUNION MESSAGE BOARD!

Information is available in many states that will help you with your search. Below are some services that are available in some states. Let me know what state you are searching in and I can give you offices and addresses that you can contact to get services that are available in your state of adoption.

If you know what adoption agency handled your adoption contact them for information from your adoption file that will help you with your search. If you were a private adoption or do not know the name of the adoption agency contact the central governing agency for all adoptions in your state.

INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE IN SOME STATES:

“Non-identifying information” is information from your adoption file about your birth parents. It generally includes ages, marital status, states of birth, education, religion, occupations and a physical description of your birth parents.

“Mutual Consent Registry” is a registry where adoptees and birth parents can register the adoption information. If both parties register normally the agency responsible for the registry will notify both parties that consent has been given to contact each other.

“Confidential Intermediary Service” is a service that some states provide that will search for the person that you are looking for. Since the state has a copy of your adoption file they will have the full names of the birth parents and their dates of birth.
