I'm 18 years old and just recently found out my birth name.
I currently live in Ohio but I was born in San Antonio Texas.
My name at birth was Deadra Toudouze. My mom was 18 year old Samantha Toudouze (I think) and my dad was 27 year old Micheal Toudouze.
My mom had two boys before me they would be 22 and 21 maybe.
Does anyone have any information for me?

I too was adopted in the great State of Texas!

There are lots of available sources to help start your search. Have you contacted the adoption agency you were adopted through? There are lots of people "search angels" who will help locate your bmom/bdad for FREE. No need to pay! Don't forget to use the internet and search for their names. Good Luck!

Also, you can receive a copy of your original birth certificate through the state. I can't remember the website, but google "texas" and "adoption" and something will come up. A law was passed last November that makes this possible.

I was born in Texas too and I was also born in San Antoinio. Here are two sites that have free angels working for them. They found both my b-mom and my grandparents.

Adoption Registry

G'S United States Adoption Registry Home Page

Just fill out as much info as you can. The first site should post it immediatly, the second on will take a few days cause he enters them in by hand.

txcare.org is another good site. that site will link you to the state of tx site so you can download the form to request your original birth certificate. If you want me to do some checking at some other places, send my a private message.
