Question:

How do I find adoption records from Bogota, Colombia orphanages in 1980?

I was adopted in 1980 from Bogota, Colombia. I know that the orphanage had something like "Sacred Heart" in its title and I know the name I was given before it was changed by my parents. I need to find out about my birth parents.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Before you got on the plane to come to the US there would have been a naturalization ceremony held at either a US embassy or consulate. If you can't find the records on your own, I guarantee that if you contact the place where you became a US citizen they will have all of the records of your adoption and the details of the agency handling the adoption, the orphange where you lived and about your birth family.
