Searching in Washington

WELCOME TO THE SEARCH AND REUNION MESSAGE BOARD!

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:

State of Washington
Dept of Children’s Services
Post Adoption Services
Office Building #2
Olympia, WA 98504
Phone: 206-753-7039

INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE IN YOUR STATE:

“Non-identifying information” for the adoptee 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

“Confidential Intermediary Program” is a service sponsored by the state of adoption that will search for and locate the birth family member that you are looking for. This program will make the first contact but if the person contacted declines contact the agency will not give you the information to contact them yourself. There is usually a fee associated with this service through the governing agency of adoptions for your state of adoption.

NON-PROFIT, VOLUNTEER RESOURCES IN YOUR STATE:

Warm (Washington Adoption Reunion Movement)
Phone: 206-767-9510

Thanks so much, Ms. Buckner!
I didn't know that office existed. I'll certainly call them first thing.
I can't explain in words how excited (and grateful) I am! And, I'll
sure put those adoption related threads to very good use. Kudos
to our great Search Guru!
