Adoption records are sealed in most states and only specific persons can receive copies of adoption records, most of the time you can get non identifying information. Below are some useful links for adoption searches. My suggestion is that you apply for whatever you can apply for from both states, then armed with the information you get join some search and reunion groups on yahoo. also go to www.adoptionregistrymagazine.com

Do a search for VA in St Louis.  They have may different offices there.  That is were all records are kept after a soldier discharges or retires from service.  Try VA medical records.

you need to send to the City Clerk or the Birth Registry\nof the person at the city where they were born.

The Vital Records Office in the county the person was born in.  I believe it's public record.  As far as the fee goes, it's a government agency, and unless there is some system in place for the public to do the research themselves, there will probably be an administrative fee for the search and the results.

Were your parents working on base or American Military. If not in military, you would not be a citizen. Try the American Embassy. They can usually find paperwork on all foreign born citizens.

Steps for Locating Adoptees, Birth Parents, and Adoption Records\nIt is estimated that 2% of the U.S. population, or about 6 million Americans, are adoptees. Including biological parents, adoptive parents, and siblings, this means that 1 in 8 Americans are directly touched by adoption. Surveys show that a large majority of these adoptees and birth parents have, at some point, actively searched for biological parents or children separated by adoption. They search for many different reasons, including medical knowledge, the desire to know more about the individual's life, or a major life event, such as the death of an adoptive parent or the birth of a child. The most common reason given, however, is genetic curiosity - a desire to find what a birth parent or child looks like, their talents, and their personality. \nWhatever your reasons for deciding to start an adoption search, it is important to realize that it will most likely be a difficult, emotional adventure, full of amazing highs and frustrating lows. Once you're ready to undertake an adoption search, however, these steps will help you get started on the journey. \n\nBeginning the Search \nThe first objective of an adoption search is to discover the names of the birth parents who gave you up for adoption, or the identity of the child you relinquished. \n\nJust like a genealogy search, an adoption search should always begin with yourself. Write down everything you know about your birth and adoption, from the name of the hospital in which you were born to the agency which handled your adoption. \n\nThe best place to turn next, is your adoptive parents. They are the ones most likely to hold possible clues. Write down every bit of information they can provide, no matter how insignificant it may seem. If you feel comfortable, then you can also approach relatives and family friends with your questions. \n\nGather together all available documents. Ask your adoptive parents or contact the appropriate government official for documents such as an amended birth certificate, petition for adoption, and the final decree of adoption. \n\nContact the Agency or the State that handled your adoption for your non-identifying information. This non-identifying information will be released to the adoptee, adoptive parents, or birthparents, and may include clues to help you in your adoption search. The amount of information varies depending upon the details that were recorded at the time of the birth and adoption. Each agency, governed by state law and agency policy, releases what is considered appropriate and non-identifying, and may include details on the adoptee, adoptive parents, and birth parents such as: \nMedical history \nHealth status \nCause of and age at death \nHeight, weight, eye, hair color \nEthnic origins \nLevel of education \nProfessional achievement \nReligion \nOn some occasions, this non-identifying information may also include the parents ages at time of birth, the age and sex of other children, hobbies, general geographical location, and even the reasons for the adoption. \n\n\nRegister in State and National Reunion Registries, also known as Mutual Consent Registries, which are maintained by government or private individuals. These registries work by allowing each member of the adoption triad to register, hoping to be matched with someone else who might be searching for them. One of the best is the International Soundex Reunion Registry (ISRR). \n\nJoin an adoption support group or mailing list. Beyond supplying much needed emotional support, adoption support groups can also provide you with information concerning current laws, new search techniques, and up-to-date information. Adoption search angels may also be available to assist with your adoption search. \n\nIf you're very serious about your adoption search and have the financial resources (there is usually a substantial fee involved), consider petitioning for the services of a Confidential Intermediary (CI

1st thing - I am adopted too! I have 2 siblings that were also adopted through catholic charities, but in NJ. I was adopted privately so my situation is a little different. I know my medical history, because I met my birth mother about 6 years ago and my full-bro & 2 half-bros that live with her. She is a wonderful person, who made the right decision and gave me a better life, were such good friends now.  \n\n * CAll Catholic charities - they can help you. They may not be able to tell you where you sibling are though - they need there permission. The best I could do is have letters put in there files incase they ever want to look for me. I'm pretty much stuck their - there's nothing else I can do - becasue I don't know there adopted names. I must say, I know not everyone has good expiences when searching for biological family - so be prepared for rejection, but dont take it personally - they dont even know you.

sorry i cant give my address already to many strangers got due to my picture flying through the internet. but try to find a friend that happens to be a soldier near by his AKO acct has acces to the information you request. Hopefully he/she is willing to help you. the army is a big place so unless you know what unit he went to its like finding a needle in a stack of needles.I used to see this all the time in Bragg, people would ask for their son/brother etc if we know them . And we keep telling them without their unit or MOS we cant narrow down anything due to our post being the size of a city.

I just had to go through the same thing. My dad was in the navy and I was born in Scotland. You have to write to the Dept. of State in Washington, D.C. They don't make the FS-545 anymore. They have replaced it. You can either get a FS-240, which is a consular report of birth abroad or a DS-1350, which is a Certification of report of Birth of a United States Citizen. They are $30 each. I have lost the address, but the phone number is 888-407-4747. They will let you know what all you have to have. Good luck.

It depends.  If you are adopted, go to the agency.  Ask your parents if they have information, etc.\n\nIf you are not adopted, but your dad is deceased, you should ask your grandparents, aunts and uncles, and etc.  \n\nIf your Dad left the family and you don't know where he or his family is, then you are stuck asking your mom.  She may be a little hesitant at first, but if you are respectful and polite, I'll bet she will tell you.  \n\nCheck your birth certificate and record the name of your birth father and the place that you were born.  You might be lucky if you go to the town clerk's office and look for his birth certificate there.  Lots of times we are born in the same town as our father.  It just happens sometimes.  It's a thought.\n\nThere are searching services to help you.  I don't know which ones are reputable. \n\nhttp://www.ask.com/web?q=how+do+I+find+my+birth+parents%3F&qsrc=0&o=0\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=RNWE,RNWE:2006-03,RNWE:en&q=birth+parents\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=slv2-msgr&p=search%20birth%20parents\n\nGood luck in your search for truth.

You would contact the birth certificates division and the hospital where you where born and from the city birth records division and if it's in New York you could contact them by email after looking them up on the internet, whereever you are at and request it from then, now if they charge anything for this or not i don't know for sure.

It may take a little work and a little money,but the best thing to do is to first sit down with your parents or grandparents and collect important dates,like births, deaths, departures, and arrivals. Then the office of public records usually has death certificates and other information for about $5-$15 per document. Including birth records, and immigration list and charts. Don't fall for those crappy genealogy sites, they kinda just give you a general idea, about your last name etc. Now, if you want even further the National Geographic Society will send you a kit, and test your DNA and send you a map which will show your ancestral history back 100s of years. i hoped this helped .G'luck
