Hello--- don't know if you ever got the info you were hoping for, but I am an adult adoptee (now 62) who was able to use a very liberal law in PA at that time (26 years ago) but one had to know one's original birth name, then the date and place of birth. It almost seemed like a Catch-22, but I did have that info, and did find my family that way. All I had to do was to write to Harrisburg's Department of Vital Statistics (or whatever that gov't agency calls itself) and then send $3! They sent me a copy of my original long-form birth cert, which had my mother's name and approx age, and so on. Don't know if that was only a brief window of opportunity or not, but you might check into it, as you seem to have more info than most adoptees. Good Luck!

Where can I start my search since it was a confidential adoption. What I do have is of course my date of birth, place of adoption and the person who adopted me. Please foward any suggestions to where I can start. >>
