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.

I’m looking for my uncle. My grandmother has tried to find him but was only a teenager when he was born and only knew the state and DOB. I narrowed down the hospital and actual DOB after requesting Medical Records. He was born on Feb 09 1963 at Cape Fear Valley Hospital in Fayetteville NC. My grandmother thinks the welfare dept did the adoption and she wasn’t allowed to see him after he was born. She tried to sneak out of her room and go to the nursery to see him but wasn’t able to. She thought he was born on Feb 12 1963 but the Medical records show Feb 09 1963. There was no birth certificate or anything else to go on. She wasn’t even able to name him but her maiden name was Smith. If you know anything that will help please respond we would be so grateful.
