How old are you? Do your adoptive parents know that you are interested in finding your biological parents? I have two cousins that are adopted, and my aunt has always had their birth names and the names of their parents. Within the last couple of years, both of my cousins decided that they wanted to meet their biological families. My aunt was heart-broken, but didn't say anything to her sons (they are both in their 30's). If you really want to contact your biological family, check with your parents first to see if they have any objections (for any reason), or to see if they have any information that could help you locate them. Also, don't refer to them are your "real" parents; for whatever reason they gave you up for adoption. Your "real" parents are the people who "choose" you and raised you. Your biological parents just gave birth to you, but thank God they did.
For you...
LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD
Once there were two women
Who never knew each other
One you do not remember
The other you call mother.
Two different lives
Shaped to make your one.
One became your guiding star
The other became your sun.
The first gave you life
And the second taught you to live in it
The first gave you a need for love
And the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality
The other gave you a name
One gave you the seed of talent
The other gave you an aim.
One gave you emotions
The other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile
The other dried your tears.
One gave you up —
It was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child.
And God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me
Through your tears,
The age-old questions
Through the years;
Heredity or environment —
Which are you the proudest of?
Neither, my darling — neither
Just two different kinds of love.

Depending on your age and state, you can petition Family Court. Some states, like NY, your records are sealed. You can petition Social Services or Catholic Charities for non identifying information. You can list your name and information on adoption registry, or there are people out there who specialize in finding biological families. Talk to people around to see if they know of someone who can help you.

I have the same problem. I've been trying to find my brother but haven't had any luck. My mom put him up for adoption and I have been trying for a long time to find him. Good luck in your search.

If you are not already, then when you become legal adult age, hire a private investigator.
