2. Birthmothers are entitled to non-ID information too. They can request they time, place, and date of the birth....and more important...the date and location of the actual adoption. Sometimes, after you recieve this information, you can trot right down to the county where the adoption took place and ask to look at the court docket for that day...making notes of course on any adoption proceedings. Wah Lah.... the names of the adoptive parents. (These books are also sometimes called minute books and they are the records of all cases being heard on a particular day)
3. Sometimes...it pays to search the geneology resources for your area. Often the adoptee you are looking for is listed in one of them. Try your search engine.(I use Google) and enter the following:
(State of Birth) (Year of Birth) (adopted)
or
(State of Birth) (Year of Birth) (month of Birth) (adopted)
This should bring up some long geneology lists to look through...you are looking for the adopted children.
