They are usually in the public libraries. Also, as an adoptee have you check the various adoptee reunion sites. Sometimes members of your birth family have posted contact information (e.g. ISRR). None of my birth family did but I still found them. Good luck to you. The health issues are important as you get older. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
