I was born in a state that reissues birth certificates when family adopts. I am most certain that I am not my parents child or they would never do what they have done to me. I beleive I am really the child of another member of the family who has been deceased from the 70's. I know only her first name so can't do a death certificate search. Any one have any real constructive ideas to uncover an adoption if I no longer live in the state where I was born?

You would need to go back to the hospital records, and find the certificate of live birth -- assuming you were born in a hospital.
You can also try and find the court where you think the adoption occurred, and petition the court to release the records to you.
But speaking as someone who was adopted myself -- parents reactions have nothing to do with genetics or whether you are adopted -- natural parents can be just as cruel.... one usually has nothing to do with the other.

Yes, you can if you hire a lawyer who can request the courts to get the records you are looking for, or hire a private investigative individual who deals in getting this type of information.

Here's an article on access to adoption records: http://www.childwelfare.gov/systemwide/laws_policies/statutes/infoaccessap.cfm - maybe that can give you a start.

In Michigan records are closed until your 18th birthday
