Hi Beverly,

I have a female cousin somewhere, born 3/11/68 in Monterey County California. (Same general area of California as Oakland) Let me know if this could be you.

Your best bet would be to have one of the birth parents contact the adoption agency that handled the adoption and request non-identifying information and a Waiver for Consent to Contact. As a cousin you would not be able to request these services:


***Non-identifying information***
Information can be requested from the adoption file by contacting the adoption agency that handled the adoption. The non-identifying report will have most or all of the following about the adopting family:

A. Ages of adopting parents at the time of adoption
B. Other children in the adoptive family, biological and adopted
C. Physical description, ethnicity, occupations and education of adopting parents
D. Date of birth of relinquished child

***Waiver for Consent to Contact Form***
The Waiver is a form that can be used by adoptees, relinquished siblings or birthparents to give their permission for contact should a waiver be filed by both parties.

NOTE: If the name of the agency is not known, or if it was a private adoption, this office can be contacted for the above services:

State of California
Dept of Social Services, Adoptions
744 P Street MS 19-31
Sacramento CA 95814
Phone: 916-322-3778
