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.

Her mom was caucasian approx 19 y/o at the time of giving birth. She was 5’2 and ~140, Blonde hair blue eyes. She was a student in Virginia when we got pregnant. She would be ~61 y/o.

Hi, my name is Kellie & I live in Ohio. I was adopted when I was 3 weeks old here in Ohio, my b-day is 03-15-1984. I’m still trying to find out if I was born in WV or OH. My birth mother’s maiden name is BARKER. My birth father’s last name is MASON. I only know this because my adoptive parents received the wrong paperwork in the mail. They sent it back when they realized it hadn’t been amended. My adoptive parents named be Kellie Lynn Garrett. I think my birth father’s side wore corrective lenses, both birth parents were musically inclined. I’m only 4’11″ & used to be a long distance runner in high school for track & cross country. I have blue eyes & dirty blonde hair. If ANYONE had ANY info, PLEASE let me know!! I’d be so thankful!!!
I am an adoptive parent and all my children’s birth records have my address where I live but it still lists the state they were born.
This is Kellie again. I WAS born in Ohio. My mother is from WV, she was 20 years old when I was born. My father is most likely from PA & he was 21 when I was born. My birth mother is of German decent- she has brown hair, green eyes, & is 5’1″. My birthfather is Irish & Indian- he has blonde hair & blue eyes.

Kristyna Needham(adoptive name)
Krystyna-Maria Balbuena(birth given name)
Kristyna, I found a Jessica born July 12, 1984 looking for her birth family. Did you find her she has the same birth parents?
What state did the adoption take place?
Do you remember the adoptive parents first names? Where the boys adopted together? There is a Nicolas J with that birthdate in Orange Park, FL. I have no clue if he is the right one though.
the adoptive parents first name is kelly balbuena & mark balbuena. the adoption took place in mass. we were all adopted on or close to the same time. we were all born in boston ma
i’m sorry those are the birth parents names
the boys were adopted into different families i believe
Please email me directly?
my email is newmansgoddesss@hotmail.com
I am glad you said those where the birth parents because you threw me off…LOL I only found a Corey-Michael that connected to Kelly. I have found two people who I believe could be your birth brothers. One is in NY and the other in FL.
corey is my birth brother he is the youngest of us all. are you able to email me their names(now) or a specific location?
i have a few updates i found out that the younger boy born 10/19/1987 birth given name was either nicholas john or john nicholas, his adoptive parents however changed his name to Josh middle & last name is unknown, i do however know that his adoptive parents lived in Stoneham Mass at the time of his adoption.
i was jus wondering if anybody had found any adoptees in mass, 1 boy born 7/12/1986 named Matt or Matthew, the other born 10/19/1987 named josh or joshua ( josh’s birthgiven name was a different name his name was changed at the time of adoption)
it is very possible that catholic charities adoption agency handled if not 1 but both of there adoptions… i’ve not had any luck with my search, & desperately need any assistance i can get. thank you

Hi Keith. It’s me again…
The above address is the Tulsa Housing Authority http://www.tulsahousing.org/. It looks like Elmer was living in public housing. This above address was also the only address showing under his Social Security Number so I suspect he may have been homeless.

i WAS BORN 10-07-1972 IN MESQUITE TEXAS
My son was born July 5,1964 in Misyrechordia Hospital in the Bronx, New York. I named him Joseph Craig Kraemer. I believe he was adopted right away. His birth certificate was probably changed right away because I was told that it did not exist in New York files. Catholic charities paid for my housing so I guess they handled the adoption also. He would be 46 years old.
I am lookig for my birth daughter born Oct 23, 1993, at Good Samaritan in West Palm Beach, FL. The adoption was handled by a woman named Sherry Mayew of Chosen Children in Palm Springs, FL and the OB was Dr. Wagner and he had an office on Forest Hill Blvd. just east of I-95.
I am looking for my son, born in Melbourne,Florida at Holmes Regional Medical Center on February 13, 1987. His adopted name is Micah Josiah and he was adopted by Wycliffe bible translators. His adopted mothers’ name is Yvonne (?) They had a son named Seth. Attorney Stephanie DaCosta of Cocoa Beach facilitated the adoption. He is 23 yrs old now. My OB was Dr. Mario Oliveira.
My name is Rachel Kelley and i was born on 7-14-1992 at 10:10 a.m.in Jacksonville, Fl. specifically Duval County, Fl. I was adopted through LDS social services. I have two possible fathers and i believe my mom was 16-18 when she had me. She was also adopted. Please help me find my mom! I think her first name is Laurey
