I am the daughter of a recently deceased adoptee (my father). I am interested in locating my paternal family (his birth family) and don't really know how to start.

My father was born in St. Vincents in Chicago and was (I guess the correct term is surrendered) to Catholic Home Bureau (a division of Catholic Charities) from where he was later adopted.

I guess I am just looking for a direction, some advice, ANY help, suggestions...just trying to get my "sea legs" under me as I start on this journey and when I saw the title of your post, I thought I would start here.

For anyone looking (I think I can post this based on the rules) I am the daughter of a deceased man born on 12/26/1949. I am very interested in finding ANY member of his birth family (brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.).

Thank you in advance!

The first thing to do is get in touch with the Catholic Charities office that handled your adoption. Ask for someone who deals with post adoption searches. They should be able to get you started. If you don't get someone right away, keep trying. These are very often partime jobs, so you need to be patient.

The very best to you.

Born in Baltimore on 12/23/49

I was adopted from a Catholic orphange in Baltimore in either 1949-50. I believe my name was John Coppolino before my adoption. I am interested in discovering family health history.

Searching for any of my birthfamily. Born in Shreveport,LA on 2/15/67. Attorney was Lewis Lauve,Sr. & the caseworker was Valerie Sealander (Ms. Valerie is around 94 yrs. old so, I don't believe she can be of any help) Mr. Lauve,Sr. is now a judge in Alexandria. I've tried twice to make contact with him....to no avail. I'm waiting on my non-id info. to come in. If anyone can help me or if any of this sounds familiar,please e-mail me @ tammyabear@yahoo.com

God Bless,
Tammy
