Hi,
I tried going to the Yahoo group that u listed and it does not exist. I am probably doing something wrong. Also if u could suggest any other support and/or search groups I would be grateful. I am new at this and I have no cluse what to do. So far most of the sites I have gone to are no longer active or the post are over a year old.

Thanks,
Brie

That link works for me. Not sure what exactly you mean by "cannot access through yahoo" - could you be more specific and I'll try to help.

She was a secretary, stood 5'9" tall, fair complexion, blue/gray eyes, brown hair, and of Polish/English decent. Her religion was listed as Baptist. She completed high school, business training, and two semesters of college. Rita's father was 70 years of age in 1962-63, completed art school and was employed as a printing contractor. He was 5'5" tall, weighed 170 pounds, had brown hair, blue eyes, and fair complexion. Rita's Mom was 59 in 1962-63, she was 5'3" tall, weighed 155 pounds, had dark brown hair, blue eyes, and fair complexion. She had completed high school.

How does this support group help in locating birth parents? I would be interested to finding out anything.

We usually find out where you were adopted through and ask for you to write them for non-identifying information. Louisiana has a free registry that you can place your information with them and if they have a match they contact you. Also the ISRR International Soudex Reunion Registry is another free registry. It is a good place to listen to birth moms, adoptees, and adoptive parents stories. Also you can listen to how other people have gone about their search.

I've already gotten my non-identifying information, and I'm kinda stuck. I know that my father graduated from HS and I was born in New Orleans. I have the papers for the ISRR but haven't filled them out yet. My father is mexican with brown curly hair, was 20 years old when I was born. That makes him 44 years old now. I was going to look thru yearbooks from HS's close to the VOA in New Orleans and see if I could find someone that fits what he looks like.. But other then that, it seems I am stuck unless I pay for the 900.00 to do a PI search.
