[Kacee Morgan]

I was adopted through Hamilton County DJFS in Cincinnati, OH June 1975. The name given at adoption was Kacee Dawn Valentour. I'm 5'7", brown hair, grey eyes. I'd really like to know more about my birthfamily. The agency provided little info about you and why I was put up for adoption. I'm not mad at you for doing it. I had a wonderful childhood. I just regret not knowing more about you and if you ever think about me. I hope through this I can find you.

WELCOME TO THE SEARCH AND REUNION MESSAGE BOARD!

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.

INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE IN YOUR STATE:

“Non-identifying information” for adoptees and adoptive parents 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.

“Mutual Consent Registry” is a registry where adoptees and birth parents can register the adoption information. If both parties register normally the agency responsible for the registry will notify both parties that consent has been given to contact each other. To register contact this office:

Bureau of Vital Statistics

Phone: 614-466-2531
