I am looking for a daughter that was given up for adoption. She was born in Regina,Sask. Closest birthdate I have is September 1978. Mothers name was Roberta Ann Howard and my name is Randall (Randy) Kyle. Both of us were in the military in Saskatchewan. Mother was active in martial arts. I would have been about 20 yrs of age (am 45 now) when she was born, mother would have been close to that age also. Here is the situation.... mother and I stopped dating, I moved away. The mother then showed up on my parents doorstep with birth certificate and adoption record, she also had a picture of the child. The baby girl would have been given up at birth. I do not have a copy of birth certificate or adoption record, so this makes it very hard to find her. If you have any information as to the possible discovery of daughter or of birth mother, please do contact me. Birth mother and I left each other on good terms, we just lost contact throught the years.

Information on Quebec searches (from adoptee Terry who found his birth family):

"The search tool that works best is this quasi official agency called CENTRE JEUNESSE de QUEBECThe director is Marie-Paul Mastoumec…q she does not speak good English. The person to ask for is:Ellen Gagon phone number: 418-661-6951 fax: 418-661-2845 address: 2951, avenue DU bourg-Royal, Bueaport Quebec G1c3s2(all you need is your name, date of birth, adopted parents name and city of birth)I believe they can find your file with names and date of birth only. You should ask for all information available in your file to be sent to you, They will send all they can. I got my non- ID in three weeks. Along with non-ID are forms for them to do a search for you. The search costs around $500 (American)... payable in three stages. I highly recommend this if a search is necessary. If the person you are looking for has also been in contact with their office that is an instant mach. In those cases they give you names and addresses of the person you are looking for.Anyway I sent in the $180 (American) for the first stage and they found b-mom in three weeks it seems to move very fast.This seems to be the only location that has centralized the adoption files from the Quebec Province.Up until recently it was the local churches that keep all birth/marriage and adoption records thus making searching Quebec very difficult. ”For free searches” I don't know but scanning the many boards in French has improved my French but that is about it."

Here is some information for searching in Ontario, Canada. I hope you find the information helpful in your search:

Thank you........ I have already registered and searched those site. But again thank you for your help

Hi,
As the birthfather, you may be entitled to register with the Saskatchewan Government to receive what is considered non-identifying information regarding your birth daughter.
This is the first step that should be taken when interested in searching for birth family.

Check out this web page
http://www.dcre.gov.sk.ca/services/f...tion/ado6.html

When registering with them, request that you wish to be informed of her birth date, although I am not sure if they will disclose it or not, but you could ask.

Hope this helps.
