Find Adoptee | Search By Date Of Birth Of Child

Adoptee Search

You may be surprised that you can find an adoptee by having just the date of birth of your birth child.  It’s true: having just a date of birth can lead to a successful adoptee search!

If you can recall your child’s date of birth, online databases are available to compile a list of persons, along with their addresses and phone numbers, born on that date of birth who currently or previously have been associated with the state where the adoptee was born.  This list might be quite large, depending on the state, but will give you a reasonable chance to find your birth child by placing phone calls and writing letters.

(If you do not recall the exact date of birth, there are several ways you may obtain it, which we will provide you shortly in a future post.)

Of course, any additional identifying information on your birth child that you have or can  obtain in addition to the date of birth will help you develop an even better, more focused list–or perhaps even an exact match.  Helpful information might include:

  • The amended (adoptive) first and/or last name of your birth child
  • The first and/or last names of the adopting parents
  • The age range of the adopting parents
  • The non-amended, (original name) of your birth child
  • The occupation of the adopting parents
  • The area where the adopting parents resided at the time of the adoption
  • The race and religion of the adopting parents
  • The education of the adopting parents
  • The name of the adoption agency or attorney that handled the adoption
  • The name of the birth physician
  • The name of the birth hospital
  • When the adopting parents applied to adopt
  • The hobbies of the adopting parents
  • The medical history of the adopting parents
  • The physical description of the adopting parents
  • Other historical information

Some or all of the above information might be developed from a number of sources that we will write about shortly.  We’ll also discuss statewide date of birth searching.

Please write or comment if you have any questions on how to find an adoptee.  To receive a FREE search evaluation, click here now!

    I wish to amend the above comment. I said he, but that was just a grammatical thing. I do not kow the sex of my child. Was not allowed to see him/her nor to know anything about the baby. Not a day goes by that I do not think of my child. I so badly wasn to meet him, if he wants to meet me.
    I love him without every having laid eyes on him or being able to hold him.

  15. teresa ott says:

    wat do you do when you give birth to a child that you dont have a birth name for her,,,,how do you fine her…

    • vickilynn says:

      Teresa,
      Date of birth and place of birth go a long way. You should look into every adoption reunion forum out there, especially those for the state where she was born. Also consider national registries like the ISSR http://www.isrr.org/. It is very difficult for birth mothers to find adoptees, however the forums may help. Blessings, Vickilynn

  21. Cammie says:

    I’m looking for the birth parents to a baby boy born March 17, 1969 at Ohio State University Hospital in Columbus Ohio.
    He has never searched for his birth parents but I had a daughter with him in 1991 and she has some medical conditions that can not be explained. My beautiful daughter got married to the love of her life on April 21, 2012 in Columbia, South Carolina and we need to know her medical history before they plan to have my grand babies. He has expressed no interest in finding his birth parents but of course both his adoptive parents are ill and dying and he has not one single care in the world about them either. My baby girl deserves to know her family history with or without him….. I have more contact with his adoptive family than he does…. Please help with any info anyone may have…. Wait til you see the BEAUTIFUL grad daughter you have…..

  28. Jess says:

    I’m looking for an 18 year old girl. The adoption was open and she was adopted in Florida through Atty Charlotte H Danciu. I’m her sister, and my mother was forced to give her up at 19 (I’m the youngest of my sisters). Last time my mom was aware, the girl was renamed as Katie. Her birth name was Reanne. She was born on August 17th, 1993. I’ve looked everywhere,but everywhere is a deep end. Someone please help me find my sister?

  29. Veronica says:

    Starting a search for a 15 year old girl, should be going by Taylor Christine, was named Carlye-Jo Rene Matthews on April 27, 1997 @ Methodist Hospital in Peoria, IL. Was adopted through Catholic Social Services by Larry & Christine (possibly from Minnesota) supposed parents of Christine are Bill & Carol Norvell.
    My 16 year old daughter has always known we had to place her infant sister for adoption, even after taking her home for 2 weeks & handing her over on Mothers Day in May of 1997.
    My 16 year old daughter has been questioning the whereabouts and the who what when where why and how’s for several years now.
    As a result of the adoption, I couldn’t bear to have anymore children, believing since I placed one for adoption that I didn’t deserve anymore.
    It would be wonderful to have some kind of contact to bring these two girls together, if not now..then when they both become legal adults.

    I am searching for my daughter lost to adoption. My name at the time of birth was Jennifer Vetrini. My daughter was born July 15, 1992 at 12:36 am at Abington Memorial Hospital in Abington, PA. She was adopted through Catholic Social Services. Adoption took place in Montgomery County, PA. Her birth name was Jessica Gabrielle Vetrini, her adopted name was Michelle Katherine. Her a-parents names were Renee and Mike, and they lived in suburban Philadelphia at the time of her adoption. I haven’t seen a picture of her since she was 9 months old.
