Question:

I am 21 years old and am adopted. how can I find information on my birthparents?

My adopted parents don't have any information, and I just would like to know some information on my real family.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I was in this exact same situation. I sent a letter of inquiry to the adoption agency my mom went through. Your parents will at least know that. The agency should have your file. They probably can't give you any identifying info of your birth parents but they can help you do a search for them. It will probably cost some money to do the search (in my case it was about $300). Luckily, my biological mom kept her address updated in hopes that I would someday try to find her. I finally met her about a year ago. Good luck!!
