Hey ibedoinde...,
This is a good web site to start. If you know the adoption state, that is a big help, you can contact the vital records for the state. If you know your birth city, that will help too. They will have copies of the original records, as ammended by the adoption records.
Talk to the records keepers in the town or city of your birth. The will be very helpful. best of luck.

First check with your adopted parents and see which agency you were adopted from. Most states have closed adoptions where you will probably never get help from the state. You can post on adoption boards. AOL has a great one. I used that one to find my son. Oregon has open laws concerning finding your birth family. I do believe Kentucky does too, but other than that the records are sealed.
There is an agency in Carson City that will list your information and see if they can match up with a person who is looking.
Contact:
International Soundex Reunion Registry P.O. Box 2312, Carson City, NV 89702
Write them or go online and fill out the application. You need to be 18 to do this or have your adopted parents do this.
You need to be ready for anything that happens. Reunions are stressful and hard on emotions. You may find that the birthparents do not wish to be found, you may find out things you don't want to know. there are a lot of IFS and you have to be ready.
I know. I gave up a son in 1968 and found him in 1997. We are reunited and he has become a member of his birth family. His adopted parents are happy with this as is his sister (by adoption) and his half siblings. I love him dearly. I wish you the best

You should have a talk with your adopted parents, an adult conversation so they understand you are not pushing them aside, but want to know more about possibilities for you medically down the road. I would start that conversation in the kitchen while they watch you doing the dishes! Good luck!

A good place to begin would be to ask your parents that have raised you. if that is not an option and you know where you were born, i believe if the records are open you could go to the court house and view the records. Good luck and sorry i could not be of more help. god bless

That would depend on where and when you were born
If you have closed adoption some states make it impossible for you to know
if your parents never told you,then you might never know
