Start at Google by typing their name into search. If you know what state the sibling was born in, you can check with their state department of records for a birth certificate and if they had any other state i.d. like a drivers license.\nYou can check with all states regarding a drivers license, marriage license or any other license or record. You can either do that or pay a few bucks to have professionals do it.\nIf you don't know the name, it's really tough. Good luck.

Contact the state you live in. They might have a registery for renuon or a medical exchange program. Also ask for your records. They can lead you to the rooght places. If you know the hosiptal you were born at contact that. They too might have a registry .. Definately register and ask for your records. You might get lucky and someone forgets to black out a name or too. Then you can search for that name.\nGo to online sites and post. Search angels look up people all the time and could get a hit for it too. \n\nIn renuion now for 3 months. Myselkf so good luck

My suggestion would be to contact the offices of Social Welfare for the Phillpines. The link is provided below.\n\nYou may also want to contact the local embassy for the Phillipines if you are in the USA (There are three big ones in Washington, Chicago, and Los Angeles) and they should be able to direct you as to who best to contact for more information on past adoptions.\n\nGood luck on your quest!

You can try a file called Zabasearch, however be forewarned, that you might run into a brick wall.  Your mother may prefer not to be found for any number of reasons and you may search for years.  Your best bet would be to start with where you were born if you can find that out, however with birth and adoption laws, you might strike out there.  \nIf you know her last name and if she married since you were born, it might help.  \nI wish you much luck, as it has to be hard to go through life not knowing who brought you into the world and why they gave you up, but remember they may not want to see you and that is their right.\n\nBest of Luck in your search and I hope it ends happily for you.

Your adoptive parents should have copies of the adoption papers/amended birth certificate, which would tell you where you were adopted from (agency, state, etc). Then I would contact that agency/state and see what they can tell you. There is a number on your birth certificate which correlates to a number on your original birth certificate. You will probably have to fill out paperwork stating why you are wanting this information and then hope that your birth family has filled out the same paperwork saying it is ok. If the adoptee has made contact with the agency saying that he is wanting to be found, then the agency will make contact with you

The classified are a good way. Hire your own attorney to check out the birth mother to make sure it's not a scam. Draw up a contract between you and the birth mother. It's mainly to pay for hospital fees and hopefully, not much more. Good luck. Try an adoption agency from the State, but that takes a long time but it's worth it.

Well, Ancestry.com is an excellent site. You can get a free \n2 weeks. You can get a lot done in two weeks by looking up recent census records by name, which may tell you approximately or specifically where they live. And then play around from there for more information.

Start with an online search, including places like Classmates.com, if you know where he went to high school.  Check the town he was from, and check for other people with his last name. The Mormon Temple has excellent databases of records - birth, marriage, divorce, death, phone books, etc. Once you start searching, people along the way will help you.  Keep a notebook of all your leads, because information sometimes comes in a non-linear fashion.  There are many searchers out there who will help for free.  You don't say if you are adopted, or if this is a case of divorce or abandonment, or if you are unknown to your father.  But you will find him.  He is likely not far away from you.  Many birth children find birth parents close by.  Ask your mother detailed questions and write down the answers.  A notebook will really help you stay organized.  God Bless.

http://www.zabasearch.com is a good place to search for people. Just type in the name and the state where they might be. It gives free Names, addresses, phone numbers for free and for a small fee it can search many other records. I think you can narrow it down pretty good by age and such IF they are going by the same names still. Probably even if have legally changed names.\nGood luck to you. Been there.\nRick

Contact the country of family origin. Search libraries, county/city records of that country. \nYou may need to write if you find no information from an internet search.\nIf you know any relatives in your family country of origin, they may be able to assist.\nIt may not always be as easy as [yourfamilyname].com - Many unrelated families have the same last name, jonyboy26.
