I am really confused, I have the day and time I was born, I know my weight, length and I know the county of birth, can anyone help me find a website that could help me find out my birth name or any other info. I was born in 1984. Please help if you can, I have been stuck for a while. Thank you.

Most adoptees dream of the day when simply going to a website will give them the type of answers you seek. You should navigate the forums and find one for the state you were born in. I'm sure the "Search Guru" will have a post there to advise you on what to do within your state.

Hospitals typically do not release medical records to adoptees, or anyone who requests them with only a date of birth, etc..., and no name.

If you were adopted in Tennessee, Oregon, Kansas, Alaska, Alabama, or even Delaware, you may be able to request your records from social services. If you were adopted in another state, you can petition the courts, but most judges will not release records unless you can prove you have a terminal ailment and need contact with birthfamily regarding a life or death situation.

You may be lucky enough to be granted an intermediary from your state. This person will try to contact your birthparent and then only if they are willing to have contact with you, foster a reunion.

Contact the social service agency for the state you were adopted in and request Non-identifying information, if nothing else. This will serve to whet your appetite for the entire truth, but also give you some hints about the heritage that should automatically be your right to know.

Feel free to visit my site for my story and links that may help your search.

I was just told yesterday from the district courts that the person who was adopted is the only one who can get this type of info. Call the districts courts where you were born and ask them what dept you would need to speak with to get this info. I have a sister who was born on Nov 24th 1971, in Hutchinson Kansas in Reno county. When I called the info line for Hutchindson Kansas this is what they said. So I guess that certain states will give some info and others won't

hello. i am new here. i am an adoptee and was born in georgia, my adoptive parents were living in oklahoma at the time i was born and came to georgia to pick me up. in ga we are entitled to nonidentifying info and when i try to get that info the people in georgia tell me my records are in oklahoma and vice versa. i have no idea how to find where my records are, let alone find out whats in them. i really really want to know my birthparents medical history because i have gone through a number of surgeries and illnesses and am still fairly young. if anyone knows how to help please let me know!! thanks

Jaime, do your parents have a copy of the adoption decree? This will tell you which county completed the adoption and that will tell you which state you need to petition. Good luck!

do you know the name of the hospital?
