I need helping finding my birth parents?
As H****** has given good links I have answered just to let you know that most parents want to be found. About 96% of parents do want to be found. Please don't assume all parents who surrender their children because they want to. It's far more common that parents who surrender because they feel they don't have a choice as they are poor, single, lack support, pressured by parents, even actively encouraged to do so in places such as here. Stick around long enough and you will see people encouraging parents to be exactly that will be accused of being coercive yet it's far more coercive to encourage surrendering. I am one of those mothers you can't fathom out. I was 19 years and had recently split from boyfriend when I found out I was pregnant. Right from the start I knew I wanted to be a mother so abortion wasn't an option and adoption never crossed my mind. I had a job so I could have raised my son without being on welfare. If my parents had had their way I would have aborted but when they found out it was too late. I was bullied and lied into surrendering my son and 23 years later (post reunion) I found out my son's adoption was actually illegally just on the basis that I didn't know my rights, never agreed to him being adopted and I didn't sign anything. My son started searching when he turned 18 and found my family quite quickly. They in turn told him they didn't know where I was and my mum even wrote a letter to him to accept I didn't want to be found which she knew was a lie. They also kept up the lies as to why he was adopted. I found my son when he had just turned 23 so that turned his life upside down as he felt like he had been lied too all of his life. It wasn't his adoptive parents fault that they had been told lies as to why they were adopted. However he hates the fact that my family lied to him for 5 years and would have continued to lie if I hadn't found him. It took me a long time to forgive them for not being honest to my son and for not telling me they had contact with him. .
How do I find my birthparents?
I'm now 23 years old and was adopted as an infant from Maricopa, Arizona. I was adopted by a family in California. I have asked time and time again for information about my birthparents but my adopted parents refuse to say anything due to their feelings that they are my only parents. I have wanted to find them for quite some time. I just don'w know where to start or even begin to find them. Any suggestions?

How do I find birth mother in Japan?
If you were adopted right after you were born, it's possible that you are no longer legal child of the mother. So even if you met her, you are not recognized as her child. You are now 21 as you were born in 1988. Has she contacted you in the last 21 years? If not, I don't think she now emotionally sees you as her child. So you are neither legally nor emotionally her child. She could have her husband and other children now. You would bother them if you try to meet her. And I don't think she would speak English as she's a Japanese woman. Do you speak Japanese? If not, you can't even say "I'm your child" to her. >with my birth certificate and other documents to prove it is me then it should be possible wouldn't it? What do you mean by link to her? What would you want to do? It can prove that you are her child at birth, yes. But since you were adopted, you are no loner her child now. Addition: If you know that you were born in Iwakuni and the name of your mother, just go to Iwakuni and ask people around there "Do you know where Mrs. A (your mother) is now?" I'm not being sarcastic or something. This is one way to find her. But it requires Japanese skill.
Should I continue to live with my adoptive parents or try to find my biological parents?
This is such a personal topic with so many debatable and emotional discussions.For starters, I have no idea who my Bio dad is. I am adopting my 11yo foster daughter.The father (in my case) that raised me is not perfect. However, he cared for me since day one. That says a lot for a man that takes on a child that is not his. He will always be my father no matter what…. and I love my father dearly.Part of me wants to know who I am on my bio fathers side. I’m now 48 and still curious. I may never know for sure. That does leave a bit of emptiness for me when I think about it. In my case, my mother will die with the name of my father kept a secret. For what reason ~ I have no idea.On the other side ~ Due to the violent parents of my soon to be adopted foster daughter (my adoption of her will be final this June), I am fearful to let her know who they are. She’s only 11 years old and has not asked much about them. They severely abused physically, mentally and sexually when she was very small by her bio parents and older sibling. When the day comes for her want to meet up with her bio parents I will want to be right next to her to make sure she’s safe. I have no idea what I would say to them if I ever am in their presence. I HATE what they did to my little girl. That is, if they are even alive then (criminals, drug addicts ~ her bio father was in prison for murder).
Trying to find my boyfriends biological parents...?
For a surprise I want to help my boyfriend find his parents. He was adopted at age 4. He's 44 now and I want to help him find his birth parents. I'm not sure how to go about looking for them. He told me his maiden last name is either Lewis or Taylor. I've been looking online for phone numbers to people with those last names but I don't know how to ask someone if they put a little boy up for adoption 40 years ago. Please help me figure this out, thank you.
How do I find my biological parents?
Depending on what country you live in, there are a few options. Contacting social services, foster and adoption services or even asking those who raised you. British Red Cross are very useful at this, may be you could contact them. A few thing's to take into consideration first though. Not every biological family reunions are plain-sailing. You might want to have a serious think first. Are you ready to face the possibly difficult reasons why your biological parents were unable to raise you? Assuming you were adopted, how would this affect the relationship you have with those who DID raise you? I discovered I had another 4 biological siblings and making contact with 3 of them nearly destroyed my life. Blood is not everything, some thing's are best left buried in the past. I'm purely speaking from my heart and my own experiences, so I hope I haven't said anything too harsh. Best of luck :)
Adoption: How can I find my biological parents in China?
It would be difficult without official documents of your birth. I'll say something you might not be willing to listen. I know a lot of adopted kids they're so bossed with the idea to find their biological parents and ends up being hurt again. Personally I would not encourage you to do so. Several questions you can ask:1. Were you being loved by your adopted parents?2. Are you being loved by some one?If so, your life is just as perfect as anyone else and you have all the love you deserve. If not, it could be hard for you but finding your biological parents is not the answer. The answer is to find someone who can love you and cherish you. One day, you'll have your own family and kids which will fufill all the love you didn't get before.
