Question

I was adopted from Colombia 21 years ago and have wanted to find my family for a while now and have no idea where to begin. I have my mother full name birth date and even ID card # from Bogota. Please help!

Answer 1

Address your questions to:

Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar ICBF
Grupo de Adopciones
Avenida 68 No. 64 – 01
Bogotá, D.C. – Colombia

Phone: [phone] Ext. 3157
Fax: [phone] Ext. 3162
[e-mail]
http://www.icbf.gov.co/

You can also contact the organization or foundation from where you were adopted.

Your written request of information, in Spanish if possible, should include the following information:

Your current name and address.
Name of the adopting parents
City, and Date of the legal Sentence for your adoption
If applicable, the name of the agency from where you were adopted
Your name before being adopted
Name of your mother and/or biological parents, if they appear in the documentation for the adoption.
Good luck!: Buena suerte!

Answer 2

Why not post her maiden name on here, what about the newspapers? Is there a Post Adoption registry in Columbia that would deal with these issues? Any churches that would know of her.

I have phoned around, asking people who had the same last name, with the same surname - I would just take a chance and look up the area code and dial directory assistance. Why not post it here and see if anyone would have the same last name as you from the same area? Maybe you can get them to look up phone numbers for your inquiries.

My ex-husband drove me nuts wondering who his parents were, it got to the point when I went shopping I would look at people and wonder if that was his mom or dad.

Answer 3
