Where do you find your mom if you're adopted?

Answer 1

There are a lot of factors involved in this.

1. Was the adoption open, or was it sealed?
2. Was it a foreign or domestic adoption?
3. Was it a private adoption or through the state

1. If the adoption was sealed, you're going to have to go through the courts to get anything. You may be limited as to how much information you can get, if any. If it was open, there may be info available (names, SSN, possibly other identifying information)

2. If it's a foreign adoption, you're going to need to follow up with adoption agency. They may be able to put you in touch with people in the country you were adopted from. There may be little or no info available.

3a. For a private adoption, you were probably adopted as an infant and have no memory of your birth family. You'll need to get in touch with the agency that you were adopted from, and possibly the courts to get at your adoption records.

3b. If you were adopted through the state, you may have been adopted late enough to have memories that will help you track them down... extended family, or names that you can Google, or look for on facebook. Otherwise see 3a.
