Adoption Search Tips

So I received a question on Adoption.com today asking for tips & advice on finding searching. The poster of this question said they do not have a lot of information on their family. I did not have a lot of information on my birthmother when I was searching as well & a lot of the information was false so I can definitely help you out with this. 

My advice to you, if you don't have a lot of information on your adoption or birth family Is to take all the information you have about her and post on numerous adoption search sites because believe it or not a ton of people look on those sites. You should also try to contact the hospital you were born in or adoption agency you were adopted out of. My best advice for you is to take all the information you have about her and just search the Internet & make phone calls & emails & even look in the phone book. The process is long, hard & emotional but it is totally worth it! The night that my birthmother contacted me for the first time was the night that I told myself I was ready to give up! DO NOT GIVE UP! It may get frustrating at times because you may feel like you're searching & searching & not finding anything but if you keep trying you are bound to find something! Good Luck!
