I am new to this search stuff. I don't know what the birth index is. Can someone let me know what it is and how it works. Thanks

[frogesa]

It's just a record of all births in any given state. Some states have them available some don't. It usually says "baby boy smith 1/02/70" something like that. I used one in Ohio to find my half sister very useful!

WELCOME TO THE SEARCH AND REUNION MESSAGE BOARD!

Pennsylvania does not have a statewide accessible birth index that I am aware of. You might check the Vital Records in the county where you were born. You might check with this non-profit group in Pennsylvania however to see if they can assist you with this:

NON-PROFIT VOLUNTEER CONTACT IN YOUR STATE:

If you know what adoption agency handled your adoption contact them for information from your adoption file that will help you with your search. If you were a private adoption or do not know the name of the adoption agency contact this office:

Pennsylvania Department of Children, Youth and Families
PO Box 2675, Health & Welfare Bldg, Room 131
Harrisburg, PA 17105-2675

INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE IN YOUR STATE:

“Non-identifying information” is information from your adoption file about your birth parents. It generally includes ages, marital status, states of birth, education, religion, occupations and a physical description of your birth parents. It should also include the reason for relinquishment and may include information about your aunts, uncles and grandparents. It is called “non-identifying information” because it does not include any identifying information such as names, addresses or social security numbers. If you already have your non-identifying information but it is information given to your adoptive parents at the time of your adoption you should re-apply for the non-identifying information. Agencies are giving out much more comprehensive information now that they did in the past.

“Identifying Information” about your birth parents can be released if they have given their consent to release this information. Contact:

Division of Vital Records
POB 1528
New Castle, PA 16103
Phone: 1-877-PAHEALTH to determine if your birth parents have signed a consent form.

Neither the court or the adoption agency that handled the adoption is required to conduct or arrange a search.
