I am adopted, found my entire birth family in 1975. See info below and if you want to email me directly I am at [email protected] - Rickie ADOPTEES WHOSE ADOPTIONS WERE FINALIZED BEFORE JANUARY 1, 1964 Adoptees whose adoptions were finalized prior to January 1, 1964 have access to their original birth certificates and adoption decree.
