Looking for Your Child

If you
relinquished a child for adoption, begin by writing down everything you can
remember. Make a list of everyone who had knowledge of the event or was involved in
any way, no matter how insignificant that data may appear.
Parents,
family members and family friends may have been involved in the adoption. They may even
have known the adoptive family. Arrangements could have been made through a family doctor,
attorney, or minister.
Customarily,
the parent looking for a child is the mother. Increasingly, fathers too are seeking
children given up for adoption. (To locate a father, first locate the
mother. Question her about his identity.)
