Usually, you can get someone in the church to help you get in touch with your birth parents. Always knock on the door and try the latch before assuming it is locked. It will, however, be easier for you if you are a practicing Catholic and can get your local pastor to help you.

Do a google search for adoptions. There is a central location where you can register that you are seeking your birth mother/parents and the biological mother can do the same that she is seeking her child she had to give up for adoption. Maybe you will have success doing this. Good Luck
