My question is if the adoption was a closed adoption how much, if any, info, would an adoptee receive? I have contacted the C.Charities to try to get any info at all with what I have but being a 1/2 sibling they would not do anything for me. I do not have birthmothers consent but she is also my mother and I would love to find her. Being that I dont communicate at all with my mother, can anyone tell me what the procedure was like for placing a child for adoption at that time? And if you were an adoptee searching did you find them helpful? Any info would be appreciated. You can contact me at Shann772@AOL.com thanks!
