Answer 1

try asking you`re adoption parents and something like there address or there any former place to stay would lead u right to them if u go on mapquest and type in ur address and their`s then u would get the exact directions to them.

Answer 2

These may help, especially if you are both looking for each other.

Without a country it is hard to help. Unless you put it in your question, we can't tell what country you are from. It is the most frustrating thing Y!A does. Even if you go in through Y!A Austrailia, Y!A Canada or ordinary Y!A, all the questions in English go into one big "pot". I'm in California, for instance.

I would call the family that fed you, clothed you, read to you after dinner, took you to the library, taught you to ride a two-wheeler and helped you with your homework your "real" family, if I was writing about you.

If they are still alive, you won't be able to find much out about them; genealogists and genealogy web sites hide details about living people to protect their privacy.

Michael W Torell and Julie A Will are listed as being married in Reno, Nev. in 1990 in the Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005 on www.ancestry.com. If both are still living, we are not allowed to give out too much info.
