How are you suppose to find a persons biological family?

Question

All I have is the last name of the birth mother and the city and state, no address, no socialsecurity number, nothing I have tried several web sites but had no luck. Does anyone have any serious suggestions, they make it look so easy on these talk shows but i have hit a brick wall.

Answer 1

Hey Sha T,

It is anything but easy. Do you have the original birth certificate of the adoptee? It will give the Birth Mother's first name, and if a father is listed. If you go through an adoption registry the Birth Mother may have registered. You can find the Adoption registry on the internet. Look for ADOPTION VITAL RECORD (where location is the location), and search the sites that come up for a REGISTRY of Adoptees. If it is not an adoption, then apply for the Birth Certificate in the municipality where the birth occured. The key is the Birth Certificate.

You can also take out an Add in the news paper, or write a story and submit it to the Editor of the local paper. You will have to include all the information you can to get a response.

Records are the key that tie generations together.

Answer 2

I hade sort of the same problem, I was looking for my mother, she left,(so I was told) when I was a few months old. I tried to find her when I asked my father about her, My family was no help what so ever, well to make this short, I looked all over the internet, posted on web sites asking about her, did people searches, ect.... come to find out I had found her 2 years before and never knew it because all the info that would show was her Daughter, and that she was living with her. So I finally met my Mother when I was 36. No thanks to all the TV shows because I called all of them to help me with the search. My advice is to have her name, married and maiden, and just keep searching web sites and post on sites in towns where you think she might live, and call people who have the same last name cause ya just never might know if one of them may be related. GOOD LUCK !
