Maybe check the hospital and the lawyer that helped the adoption go through.

Looking for that ex that's behind in child-support?\n\nIf you apply for public aid in your state, THEY will find him.

There are on line businesses that will give you any available public info on a person. The often have names like "find anyone now" or "find anything or anyone". The service often cost $29.99 to join. Look for one that offers a "guarantee to find" service. If your friend is under 18, you might need to try to locate an adult family member of his to find him. Good Luck

Check with Churches, they always know about adopted children or might know how to direct you to the right place. Hopefully you could find your child so soon and I will keep you in my prayers.

I have used www.intelius.com in the past to find people.  They have people listed along with their ages, so you will have a good chance of finding your daughter.  You will have to pay for detailed information, though.

You might want to try Ancestry.com. If it's not there, the best way is to contact the public library in the town where they lived. Contact info at the second link below.

depends on where you were born. michigan has a place in lansing called michigan adoption registry. try your local court house for info. do you know what agency handled your adoption?? try them first. Good luck with your search.

Go to the "find a person" websites and do a search.  Should help.

I would try reunion.com. Even if you don't find who you are looking for, if they join then they will be notified that you were looking for them! Then you get connected ( an e-mail that they were found, etc.).

Easy. Go the the County Recorder's Office in the county that the child was born and request a copy. There will probably be a small fee.

Have you tried public records, or maybe you'll have to pay and try a people search? Maybe they will contact him, do they know where you live? Good Luck

First thing check laws in the state you believe this boy was adopted, see if records can be legally opened. Some records can be now! \nFind what hospital, doctor,county anything to help. \n\nMetro Adoption Registry is a great place to go. Any internet registry can help. Also find a local support group. My Aunt found her first son that way.

They will not give you a blank one anywhere, atleast not in the US.  If you legally adopted the child, then you need to contact the court or agency that handled the adoption.  They can help you get one.\n\nIf you haven't legally adopted the child, no one will give you a copy because  you are not technically the parent yet.
