Hello,

My Name is Tina Marie and I was born 12/30/78 in Chicago,IL @ Cook County Hospital. I know I have 2 bio-sisters, I believe they are Garden Grove, CA, but I am not sure. Family ties to the Poulsen ( I think that is how it is spelled) especially Judy Poulsen that worked for OCTA.

You can contact me @ plur4aloha@yahoo.com

Good luck to you!

Welcome to the Search and Reunion Message Board!

Note: The State of Illinois has a “Confidential Intermediary” search program that will locate and contact birth relatives.

Using a confidential intermediary:
Adopted adults 18 or older and adoptive parents of an adoptee younger than 18 may use the confidential intermediary service. Birth parents of an adoptee 21 or older may use the service. The State of Illinois or the adoption agency that handled your adoption will provide this service. Be aware that the person that is contacted has the right to decline contact and if that happens you will not be given any contact or identifying information to contact them yourself.

Contact the adoption agency that facilitated the adoption or the office below:

State of Illinois
Confidential Intermediary Service
3158 Des Plaines River Road
Suite 120
Des Plaines, IL 60018
(847) 298-9096; (847) 298-9097
(847) 298-9097 (fax)

More information about the Illinois Confidential Intermediary Search Service at:
http://www.ci-illinois.org/

ILLINOIS EXPANDS ABILITY OF ALL PARTIES TO USE INTERMEDIARY PROGRAM
Effective January 1, 2004, adopted people 21 and older and adoptive parents can obtain a court-appointed confidential intermediary without proving medical or psychological cause, as they had to under the old law in Illinois. Additionally, birth parents now will be permitted to participate in the intermediary program once the children they placed reach age 21. All parties can access the intermediary program for the purpose of exchanging medical information, obtaining identifying information or arranging contact with mutually consenting biological relatives. Previously, intermediaries could only seek medical information from biological relatives. Provided a "sought-after relative" has not filed a Denial of Information Exchange, the confidential intermediary will inform such relatives of the petitioner's request and of their options. The law also allows adult adoptees access to non-identifying information on original birth certificates and the "actual date and place of birth."

Non-Identifying Information: For private adoptions, an adopted adult may obtain non-identifying information. For adoptions facilitated through the State Department of Child and Family Services, adopted adults, birth parents, and adoptive parents may receive non-identifying information.

Identifying Information: Identifying information is provided through an Adoption Registry.


Illinois Adoption Registry: Birth parents, adopted adults 21 or older, adopted adults younger than 21 with the consent of their adoptive parents, and birth siblings 21 or older may use the registry. Adoptive parents, adopted adults, birth parents, and birth siblings* may exchange updated medical information throughout the life of the adopted adult. The registry also may act as an intermediary if either party does not want to be contacted. All parties also may exchange pictures and written statements through the registry. *Note: This rule does not apply for non-relinquished birth siblings looking for a relinquished birth sibling if the birth parents are living and do not give their permission. However, if the birth parents are deceased a non-relinquished sibling can use the registry once they provide the registry with copies of the death certificates of the birth parents.

NEVADA ADOPTION REGISTRY
AND POST-ADOPTION SERVICES

The Division of Child and Family Services and Nevada licensed child placing agencies offer two important services to birth parents, adoptive parents, adoptees, and relatives related to adoptees within the third degree of consanguinity.

1. NEVADA ADOPTION REUNION REGISTRY

The Nevada Adoption Registry was developed in 1979 to allow adopted children and birth parents to locate each other if they both choose. Established as a mutual consent Registry, both the birth parent(s) and the adoptee must make application. The adopted child must be 18 years or older. The birth parent can be any age. Registry services can also be provided to relatives within the third degree of consanguinity as long as the birth parent gives written permission for the relative to receive information.

The Registry can also be used to provide non-identifying information about birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoptees. This request must be in writing. Examples of non-identifying information which can be exchanged are:

1. Child's birth information: Social / health history.

2. The age of the birth or adoptive parents at time of adoption.

3. Height, weight, complexion, eye and hair color, and ethnic background of the parents.

4. Education, religion and occupation of the parents.

5. Health of the parents.

6. In certain circumstances, specific medical information can be exchanged with the family's physician to help plan and treat an adoptive child. This is determined on a case by case basis and should be discussed with the Registry. Social history information can also be provided, if available.


An enrolled person in the Registry may withdraw his or her application at any time by writing the Adoption Registry. In order to keep applications current registrants must submit addresses and other changes as they occur.

In the event both the adoptee and birth parent and/or eligible relative files an application with the Registry, the Division will facilitate contact between eligible parties. If only one party registers, his or her application will be kept on file with the Registry.

2. POST-ADOPTION SERVICES

The Division provides information and referral services upon request to birth and adoptive parents and adoptees for assistance with adoption related issues.


Requesting an Original Birth Certificate: An adoptee must petition the court in which the adoption was finalized.
