Hi,
I was born in Newton, MA on October 23, 1961. I think I was born at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital. I was adopted through the Boston Children's Service Association. My adoptive parents adopted me in December 1961 in Boston.
I am looking for my birthparents.

Thanks.

Have you contacted Boston Children's Service Association to see if they have a Post Adoptive Services department? The agency that handled my adoption had this department and the social worker was very helpful. I recently exchanged letters and pictures with bfather.
