The best way to start would be by asking your adoptive parents if they know the names of your birth parents. If they don't, then ask them if they will help you find them. But before you begin this discussion with them, you have to know they may be upset by it, and may not want to talk about it. But this is a natural reaction with adoptive parents; they may feel you would only be hurt by trying to contact your birth parents.
If you're of legal age, then you can try searching for them on your own, without permission from your adoptive parents. There are many sites for finding people, but unless you know their names, that won't help you any. But many adoption agencies keep a record on file with the adoptive parents signed consent for the child to contact them when s/he is older. So if you can at least find the name of the adoption agency, or the name of the attorney who handled your adoption, they would be a good place to start.

∙ 15y agoAs an Adopted child I know all about the birth parent search. First adopted children should talk with their adoptive parents to get any info they can. Then if you have their names and maybe where they live/lived you can look online. On good place to really look would be facebook, they might be one there but NEVER take any action without your parents help and or a social workers help.

When adopted can you leave your adopted family at 16?
Being adopted dose not make it any different then being with your biological parents. They are your legal guardians so whatever laws apply to non adopted children applies to you. So wherever you are, find out what age you can legally be on your own and then proceed from there. I do believe 16 sounds a bit young to be on your own, but I haven't got a clue. 16 is really young to leave you family, so maybe talk to your parents?
How can you find out if you were adopted?
If you were adopted, your birth certificate was modified so that your adoptive parents are listed as your parents. If you are wondering how to learn the identity of your birth parents, start with contacting the agency through which you were adopted.
