Searching for your heritage

The reason I started my search for my birth parents did not know my heritage. I don’t understand why they didn’t give it to my parents at the time of adoption. When I turned 18, I was allowed to request the information from the agency. I’m hoping they passed the information to my children’s parents when they where adopted. There is a lost that I carried for many years not know this information. I hope my son’s are not going threw it. I have done web searches for them. So far, I can’t find them. I have done many posts on the internet at different sights. The one I like best is G’s Adoption Registry @ http://www.aci.net/schaefer/page60.html Anytime I have searched for my son by his birth date. My post on this sight has shown ever time I google my son’s birth date.
I have notice when doing my searches and reading what people have wrote. A lot don’t really know where to start. To find my birth parents I start at the adoption agency. When my birth mom opens her file the agency called me. With my son who was born on 9-8-85 I wrote the agency and up dated his file. This wasn’t easy since the agency was closed. I ended up finding out where the files moved to. With many calls to Florida I finally tracked down the office. I also registered with Florida Adoption Reunion (FARR). It’s important for birth mothers to keep updating there files. This helps the children find them easier. My other son who was born on 5-26-89 is harder for me to update since I went threw a lawyer and I’m have no information on the lawyer or him. I am filling out the paper work for Florida Adoption Reunion (FARR). I’m also doing different posts on websites for both of them.
