where do i find the adoption records for my brother and sister i've never even seen or met/?

Question

the adoption was in 1955 when mom was preg with me without telling my father as they said she was unfit to be a mother and took my brother & sister from her but yet still left her oldest son in her custody. Her married name was Zimmerman, my father's name was marvin leroy zimmerman, i've seen the birth certificate's for my brother and sister, his name is terry lee zimmerman, and her name is pamela kay zimmerman at birth. from what i understand they were adopted and their name changed to Anderson. mom had a major stroke in the 90's,( laid on the floor for 8+ hours when i discovered her when getting home from work. my 2nd or 3td cousin tells me that the ol man is somewhere in wisconsin or minnesota, as for him i don't really care, i would really just like to meet my brother and sister, and have them mmet their mother while she is still around. I know this went thru D.A. Blodgett home in 1955, but they won't give me any info

Answer 1

Sometimes, if you type their names int eh internet in the search field and you will probably get thousands of results, but sometimes it helps. You may also want to try doing a people search in the internet and call all of them. Try the Register of Deeds where your dad was born to find more. These are the inexpensive ideas. My mom tried these and found 2 half brothers, aunts & uncles in Michigan and she is from Wisconsin. Not so far fetched. Best of luck.

I would talk to him first. There is always a chance he doesn't want to talk to you or may feel obligated. You also may find out that he is a horrible person or completely wild. It is better if you take small steps first and meet him before the wedding. To the additional details: Every mom usually says their kid is good. It doesn't matter if they are 20 years old and acts like a two year old or if they are 20 and a med student who volunteers 20 hours a week with sick children. Everyone says their kid is good. In this instance, I would reach out to the family but don't invite them to the wedding. Instead propose another date where you could meet him for a formal introduction. The other thing to consider is how your other guests will react and act. Do you want the possibility for someone to get too drunk at the reception and scare the poor kid off? Do you want to have only a limited amount of time to talk to him the first time you meet him because you'll be running from guest to guest? What will your guests think of the brother they never heard of? While it would be a nice gesture, don't do it. I would strongly recommend another time in a quiet place where it won't be overwhelming.
