HOW TO FIND A BIRTH PARENT OR ADOPTEE
Power Macintosh
I AM THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK TITLED "HOW TO FIND FRIENDS, LOST FAMILY,
AND MISSING PERSON. IN MY BOOK, I HAVE DEDICATE AN ENTIRE CHAPTER IN
HELPING PEOPLE FIND THOSE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE ADOPTION PROCESS OF
SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE.
IN THIS POST, I AM ATTEMPTING TO GIVE SOME HELPFUL TIPS TO AID YOU IN
YOUR SEARCH
1. GATHER AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU CAN. THIS CAN COME FROM ADOPTIVE
PARENTS, THE DOCTORS AND ATTORNEY THAT HANDLED THE ADOPTION.
2.ALWAYS GET ANY MEDICAL RECORDS FROM THE HOSPITAL. IF YOU ARE AN
ADOPTEE TRYING TO FIND THE NAME OF YOUR BIRTH PARENT, GET A COPY OF YOUR
MEDICAL RECORDS. THESE RECORDS WILL BE LISTED IN YOUR BIRTH NAME AT THE
HOSPITAL. ASK FOR THE MEDCIAL RECORDS DEPARTMENT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET
THESE RECORDS.
3. THERE ARE THREE STATES THAT ALLOW YOU TO ACCESS OPEN RECORDS ABOUT AN
ADOPTION . THEY ARE KANSAS, ALASKA, AND TENNESSEEE.
4. IN YOUR SEARCH, TRY TO GET A NAME AND A DATE OF BIRTH. ONCE THIS IS
DONE, YOU CAN PAY AN INFORMATION BROKER TO PULL A CREDIT HEADER ON A
CREDIT REPORT. THIS INFORMATION WILL TELL YOU ANY CURRENT OR FORMER
ADDRESS, PLACE OF EMPLOYM ENT, TELEPHONE NUMBER, AND ANY ALIAS THAT THE
PERSON MAY BE USING.
I THINK THAT CONDUCTING A SEARCH IN THIS WAY IS MUCH EASIER. I HAVE
FOUND MANY INDIVIDUALS THROUGH THEIR CREDIT HEADER.
5. IF YOU HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER FOR THE PERSON THAT YOU ARE
SEARCHING, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FORWARD A LETTER TO THIS PERSON TO CONTACT
YOU.
6. IF YOU ARE A BIRTH PARENT ATTEMTING TO LOCATE THE NAME OF YOUR CHILD,
CONTACT LEXUS NEXUS. HAVE THEM TO PROVIDE A SEARCH ON ALL THE LEGAL
NOTICES IN THE NESPAPER FOR THE BIRTH NAME OF YOUR CHILD AND ALSO THE
ADOPTIVE PARENTS.
7. USE CRISS CROSS DIRECTORIES TO LOOK UP ADDRESSES. IN SOME LIBRARIES
THEY HAVE THESE DIRECTORIES DATING BACK ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 1920'S.
8. YOU MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO GET THE NAME OF A BIRTH PARENT BY GOING TO
THE LIBRARY AND LOOKING IN THE BIRTH INDEX OF BIRTH CERTIFICATES. SOME
LIBRARIES HAVE AN INDEX OF BIRTH CERTIFICATES. MANY TIMES THE FILE
NUMBER ON AN AMENDED BIRTH CERTIFICATE WILL BE THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL.
9. LOOK IN THE BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT SECTION OF THE NEWSPAPER IF YOU ARE
LOOKING FOR BIRTH NAMES AND BIRTH PARENTS. MANY TIMES, IF THE PARENTS
WERE NOT MARRIED IT MAY NOT BE PRINTED.
10. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO LOCATE NAMES OF BIRTH PARENTS OR ADOPTEES, IT MAY
BE THE CHANCE THAT THEY ARE DECEASED. IF THEY ARE, YOU CAN DO A SEARCH
WITH THE SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH INDEX FILE. MANY TIMES THIS IS DIRECTORY
IS FOUND MOST PUBLIC LIBRARIES. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FIND THE DATE AND
LOCATION OF DEATH TO FIND NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS OF THE OBITUARY SECTION OF
THE NEWSPAPER. FROM THIS CLIPPING, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO LEARN OF OTHER
FAMILY MEMEBERS.
I HOPE THAT THIS INFORMATION IS OF SOME HELP. I I ASSIST PEOPLE IN
FINDING INDIVIUALS THOUGH COMPUTER DATABASES. IF YOU HAVE SEARCHED FOR A
LONG TIME AND WOULD LIKE TO END YOUR SEARCH WITH A HAPPY ENDING THEN
PLEASE E-MAIL ME. I WILL BE GLAD TO AID AND ASSIST ANYONE IN THEIR
SEARCH..
