Looking for a relative who was given up for adoption?
|
I have an aunt who gave a daughter up for adoption in 1956. I don't want to contact her, but other relatives and myself, have been curious about her ever since we found out about her (35 year after the fact). All I have to go on is her birth name, birthday date and that she was born in Philadelphia (and possibly and actress of some level). Where would I even begin? Is this even enough information?

Three of the best reunion registries:
http://www.isrr.net/
http://registry.adoption.com/
http://gsadoptionregistry.com/
Register and check back with them often. These registries are open to ANY relatives. As an adopted adult, I can tell you I would have been asolutely thrilled if ANY member of my original family had gone to the trouble of searching for me!
Best of luck finding your family member :)
ETA here's a fantastic PA-specific registry

You would have to start where the child was adopted. If you don't want to contact her, then why are you looking for her? But you would start with the county and state she was adopted in and go from there |
