Male Adoptee Searching for Birth Mom DOB-6/26/1977 St. Petersburg, Florida

I belive the adoption was handled through Catholic Social Services or Catholic Charities.

I think my Birthmother was in her mid 20's

Any Advice Helping with my search would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Have you contacted Catholic Charities yet? You can get ahold of Joan Woody at (813) 631-4393. Most likely you will get her voice mail. Leave your name, phone number and dob. Tell her you are looking for non-id. She is extremely backed up right now, she will have an info package sent to you. It may take awhile after she receives your paperwork, but she is willing to go the mile to help. Also, register with FARR and ISSR.

I stayed at FC from Dec - March 1977. They claim they no longer have any records and will refer you to Catholic Charities.

I was able to get in touch with Joan today, and she is sending me the package. Thank you for the help. What are the other two groups you where talking about? I am still new at this.

Thanks, Erik
