In case noone realizes it, there are many state adoption triad mailing lists on the internet - you can join whichever one you were either born in or adopted in or both and you will get a lot of support and help in trying to find the person you are seeking - if you do not know about these list, e-mail me at my private e-mail addy and I will try to link you up with a link to the state you desire.There are also a lot of registries where you can post your information and these are read by other adoptees/birth parents all the time - one you should be sure to register with is ISRR (International Soundex Reunion Registry), you have to send off for a form, they will not search for you but if they get a match, they will notify you.
