Maybe head llama. Here are a few facebook links for you. All the websites are also on their pages.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kinsolving-Investigations-Adoption-Searches-and-Reunions/98175771111?ref=ts this one is VERY pricey, but VERY good.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000457998643&ref=ts pretty much the big kahuna of reunion registries.
http://www.adultadoptees.org has a state by state resource section, which may help you with different stae laws, and we also have resources for Canadian adoptes, too.
You can also google "Reunion registries".
Good luck. |
