I am adopted and I want to know whether my birth mother is dead or alive. Does anyone know of a free site?

Answer 1

Because that kind of information is usually kept private unless both parties agree, you aren't going to find your birth mother on the internet.

Answer 2

Hey xxredxrainbowxx,

Depending on the laws in your location, the adoptions may be open or closed. You need to register, and if your birth mother is registered in a closed location, you can contact her. In an open location, the records are waiting for you to request. Do a search in YAHOO for "Adoption Record " (not GOOGLE), where location is the place you were born. Sites will come up that say where the records are kept, and the process to get them will also be listed at that web site.

Here are the GENERIC sites that I know about:

Answer 3

This is a general hint: Even though you go in through YA Canada, YA Australia, YA UK or YA USA, all of the questions go into one big "pot" and get read by everyone in the world who speaks English. Most of the people here are in the UK and USA, but you sometimes get questions and answers from people who worry about kangaroos eating their roses. So - put a nation, or, better yet, if you are asking about a specific individual, a nation and a state / province in all of your questions. It will help people help you.


Here is a specific hint: BE CLEARER. Do you know your birth mother's name and birth date, and just want to check on her through a web-based death index? Or, do you want to find out who she is so you can then check on her through a web-based death index and/or web-based phone book?

There are a couple of hundred free sites for both. Write to me via my profile if you want a list, or search for "adopted" in the resolved questions.
