Searching for my biological sister born in Ft. Wayne Indiana on 8-6-66 at 6:15am. Your adoptive mother is white and from Kentucky, your adoptive father is white and from Indiana. You were not given a name at birth by our mother, so your original birth certificate might read baby girl Lorton. Our family would really like to meet you!!! Please email j.sowul@att.net

Here is some search information for Indiana. I hope that you find it helpful.

Obtaining Non-Identifying Information:
Adopted adults, birth parents, and adoptive parents may obtain non-identifying information.

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

Using a Confidential Intermediary:
This service is provided through the registry.

Using the Adoption Registry:
For adoptions finalized before December 31, 1993, birth parents or adopted adults can request identifying information, which will be released only if consent is given from the party who is the subject of the request. If consent is not already on file, a confidential intermediary may be appointed. For adoptions finalized after December 31, 1993, adopted adults age 21 or older will receive identifying information on the birth parents if the birth parents have not filed an affidavit requesting non-disclosure at the time the adopted adult request is made. Adopted adults age 21 or older, adoptive parents of a minor, and birth siblings age 21 or older can request identifying information, which will be released if consent is given from the party who is the subject of the request. If no consent is on file, the State registrar will search for other birth siblings if they are 21 or older to see if they consent.

I gave my daughter to two great parents and was wondering if I can obtain her birth certificate from the City Clerk's Office. I placed her through Catholic Charities in Syracuse, NY and believe that she is still there. She will be 18 this coming Mrach.

Any ideas??
