You can find out about your dads parents. You will have to do some research, forms, and it may cost a minor amount for records. Some of the probabality depends on where you live, and if the place has open records or sealed records.

To find out, search for "Vital Record <your location>" in the YAHOO Search. Also, try "Adoption Records <your state>. First, you are looking to see what the law is where your grandparents were adopted.

Are you sure both Grandparents were adopted? That is possible, and what would be more to share in common. Check your Fathers Birth Certificate, and see what it says for parents. Then see if you can get a vital record for them.

Then, you need to look for how to register if it is a sealed state. If it is not sealed, apply for the records.

Get all the information you have on your father, and grandparents, including their adopted birth certificate, death certificate, marriage certificate. That will give you times and places and information for the forms you will need to fill out. Here are some sites that might help you, but you really need to be specific about your location.
