Was your adoption finalized in Hawaii? If so, you can contact the state 808-5482211 and request they do a search via a confidential intermediary.

My aoption was finalized in 1974 in Anchorage,Alaska.
How was your reunion, and was there any hard feelings
between you and them? What do I need to expect
if its to happen to me?
Sincerely, macgirl42

Records are open for adoptees in Alaska (lucky you!). The phone # is 907-4653191. I did find my birthparents after a 20 year search. Good luck.

I did call the number you have here and they sent
me some information for me to fill out and then I
will send it back to them and hopefully they will
send me a copy of my birth certificate with my
real parents names on it before I was adopted.
Maybe that will be the ticket I need...
If I were to find my real parents and they would
want to see me what should I expect?

Hi,
Well reunions vary greatly so its hard to say what will happen. A good idea is to read the various posts so you have an idea (good, bad, indifferent reunion). Also if you can find the stages of reunion to help you understand how things may or may not progress. Once you have their names, I do subscribe to several sites which may help in locating them and I would be more than happy to help or point you in the right direction.

Well, once you have your original bcert (OBC) you will have lots of information to work with. When you have it I can pm you several (free) finder sites along with some that have both free and pay areas. Plus I live in Hawaii so I may be able to help on this end (since you were born here).
