Question:

How do I find siblings from MA. that were adopted out before I was born?

Brother is Francis Greene and sister is Mary Ellen Greene or Taparauskas. Birth parents Barbara Bedard Greene and Joe Greene of Worcester, MA. Late 1950-1960's. Heard they were adopted by a family in Holden, MA with the last name of Boyle.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: For many years I have been trying to find my brothers. They were adopted by a family in Calhoun County. The adoption was final in 1946 as was mine in Jackson County. Today they would be 60 and 61 years of age, so I don't believe at this point in life anyone would be hurt by my search. Through the Michigan court system I did find out what county that they were adopted in and that it was by the same family. At this point I am at a loss. It seems to me that I could go to court records to find out more but I honestly do not know how to start. I have spent many many dollars over the years getting into all the organizations. and finding out absolutely nothing more.
Answer
You can file a Petition for the Appointment of a Confidential Intermediary. The intermediary is a member of our court staff who has been certified to do adoption searches. I will send that form to you in today's mail. You would file the Petition for the Appointment of a Confidential Intermediary with the court where the adoptions of your siblings occurred.
