Your longing to find your birth origin really hits home to me. My Mother passed away about a year and a half ago now and since then I have been searching for her birth family. Mom was adopted at the age of 3 wks in 1924.I hope I have some words of encouragement for you. My advice is ASK.....and ASK.Do not hesitate to ask to see adoption records, petition the court if you need too, you have a right to see your file.Hopefully you have some knowledge about the adoption, how it took place and what agency handled it.Go to that agency or lawyer or whomever and ASK them to give you a copy of that birth/surrender file.That is what I did to find information about my Mother's birth.And it worked.Good luck.....Linda Z.
