I think a stumbling block is that the grandmother doesn't know the adoptive parents' names or even if the adoption was "official." Obviously, she and her daughter will have to discuss this, but I would like to have a "starting place" for them. Thanks so much.

If it was a private adoption then there is no way you can get any information out of your file like non-identifying info. you have to thru Judge winslow and a mediator to get anywhere. I have been searching since I was 18 I was also born in tulsa, ok January 31, 1967. Let me know and maybe I can help. Tiffany tifftharp@hotmail.com

I'm responding to an old post, but I was born at Claremore Regional Hospital and adopted by a family in Claremore in September, 1972. I have no idea who my birth mother is, but I wonder.

So, how do you get hold of this "Decree of Adoption"?
