Hallo The adoption index will only give the child's adopted name not the name of his/her birth parent or parents. If you don't know the adopted name you won't be able to find the person. Adoption breaks all connections with the birth family. Both the adopted child and the birth parents must want to make contact. It won't happen if either don't want contact. I lost a beautiful young niece to adoption. I'm still hoping that one day she will want to make contact and reach out. Connie in London
