If my birthson's adoptive parents won't give him permission to search for me, is there any other way I can search for him in Missouri?

Is there an email address/postal address to contact for the list of all children born a certain day in MO for $27? If so, will this be the original birth certificates with birthparents names & addresses? We already have one with his adoptive parents names. They will not cooperate.

If you need to obtain a list from Missouri, send $27.50 to:
Bureau of Vital Records
Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services
930 Wildwood
P.O. Box 570
Jefferson City, MO 65102-0570
(573) 751-6387

This is the information that I have to order this list. All adoptees are listed by their adoptive/ammended names. Even those that weren't adopted immediately at birth but later on will be there by ammended/adoptive name. There are no addresses listed on this list. You can write your letter something like this but since you are searching for birthnames this list wouldn't be of use to you.

Attention: Ms. Sheila Murphy
Research Analyst III
Center for Health Information

Dear Ms. Murphy,

I am requesting a list of births in the State of Missouri
for the following date:_________________. I am interested
in receiving the names as they appear on the final birth
file. (which I understand is the procedure you follow.)

I have enclosed a check/money order in the amount of $27.50
to cover the fees of processing this document.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

In 2003 I hired a well known PI to conduct a search for me after the CI at CC had exhausted all efforts to get a response from my bmom who had got the correspondence.

What I would like to do is learn the name of my bfather. I did speak to the bmom in Sept of 2003 and she would not tell me his name saying she didn't know who he was that I was the result of rape. Nevertheless, on the non id info there was a name and address which was whited out but the identifying info such as ht, wt, age, race etc was there..

Is there some way to find out his name., The PI said at the present there was no access to the information.

I have used the information I have plus what I have found doing my own genealogy work to order death certificates for some members ( grandparents and an aunt on the bmom side) but other than that I am stuck.
Any ideas anyone?

[lsport8585]

Do you know the adopted peoples name? If you do I can help you find him.

Birth Index price is now $52.50 in Missouri

[Blue Irish Eyes]

Does the information on this birth index contain the names of the biological mother and father or is it going to end up being the adoptive parents. Also, where does one send for this and how do you know what date or dates to request? We know some birthdays are accurate but others are not. Advice please. thanks
