I am adopted, also. I am trying to get some medical background due to my physical health now.
It's all good and fine if you want to know your heritage. However, do not judge your biological folks. They may have had good reasons to adopt you out.
I adopted out my baby when I was just barely 18. I had no way to care for her etc...She is a lot better off than if she had been with me at the time. I do not regret my decision one little bit. My daughter is 28 years old now. I have no doubt she was raised in a family of loving kindness with good values and morals.
My family gave me the name of my father. He is Italian and from Sicily. It's hard, but will be beneficial in the end.

a very general question so it gets a very general answer. it all depends which country you live in --what state or province etc. first ask your government offices --which ministry looks after "adoption matters" -- once you locate that -- find out which department and head of the dept. is responsible for giving/allowing information on adopted persons -- and follow the routine. it is a long -- very long process -- my suggestion is that once you find the right source, i.e. the top bureaucrat --write direct to the political man -- the Minister and add a cc. to his staff director. then in 10 days call or follow up etc. it is a slow process but you have no other choice. re. the genetic part -- will be dealt with at the hospital end of the equation...but first things first...get hold of the original information before step 2, 3...good luck you need it most.

I'm also adopted. I requested my non-identifying birth records from the county courthouse. Find the city you were born in and contact the court house for the proper procedure for obtaining these records. I received not only received the background on my biological parents but also transcripts of the interviews with my adoptive parents and Social Service. If you want to go further, as in find the actual names of your birth parents you will need a confidential intermediary, which the court house may recommend for you. At least these were the steps I needed to take in Michigan. Your state my differ. Good Luck.

I'm adopted and fortunately for me I had a lawyer involved in the whole thing, so when I was 17 I was able to get in contact with my birth mother to ask her questions like that. You should talk to you parents, if possible, about any information they have in regards to medical history. Often times that information will be disclosed so that the child will not be in danger of getting sick with unknown causes. You could also try to track records down from the hospital you were born in. If possible my suggestion would be to get in touch with your biological family, even if it's a distant relative or something. You can always have you DNA tested, but I think that is really expensive. Check with your insurance to see if that sort of thing is covered. Good luck!

It depends some ppl do a close adoption where they don't want you to know I guess to keep the adoptive parent's from getting hurt in the long run.Just ask your parent's.Goodluck baby.

It depends on the type of adoption you had. The birth parents may have chosen not to have the information revealed. You should ask your adoptive parents to tell you who did the adoption and take it from there.
Good luck.

First things first, go to your parents. If they adopted you legally then the adoption agency should have that info and they should've given that info you your parents. Good Luck!
