How should i look for my mother?

Question

I'm adopted and i'm trying to find my real mother. I haven't seen her for about 9 years and i have a lot of information such as her name and maiden name, state she lives in, birthday, old husbands names, and where she was born. I also know where she was about 8 months ago but for some reason I'm lost. i cant find her I'm starting to lose hope, i really want to find her so dose any one have any tips or tricks for looking for people? I don't have money to search anywhere I'm 18 and going to school so anything free would be nice.

Answer 1

Have you checked phone books? I know you can go online but it usually costs at least 20 bucks or so. You put in thier name and what you know and it will print up everything about her. If you know what county she lives in you can go to the clerks office and put her name in the computer and see if she has any property or if she has and judgements against her, They usually have an address on them. Just for kick...run her name through myspace, I found someone that way. You can do the same things on yahoo, AIM and such. Look through their people section, or members section. Type in the name and see what comes up. I keep track of my daughters mother incase she ever wants to meet her. It is easiest if you have a few dollars to spare. Theyaren't that expensive, but I know, money can be very hard to come by. I wish I could be of more help. I can imagine your pain, that is why I am trying to keep up with my daughter's mom, so maybe she won't have the pain...if she chooses to find her. You know your parents love you. But I understand wanting to know about who you are genetically. Sometimes though...it is easier not to know. Just be cautious and don't cause yourself any pain. You can also look up her ex's and her parents if you have that information and see what they know. They could be helpful, or hurtful. That is a chance you have to decide to take or not. Good luck in your search and I really hope everything works out for you. Take care of you.
