Adoption Records - article about Adoption Records

My adoptive parents are great people and great parents. They raised me well, they treated me kindly, and they always gave me everything I needed. They taught me good values and started me off on the way to living a good life. So they were surprised when I wanted to search adoption records to find out who my birth parents were. You see, most people are aware that adopted kids have issues, but few people understand how many issues adoptive parents have as well. In my family, I think that my parents are more afraid of me rejecting them than I am of them rejecting me. Needless to say, the adoption public records search was not an easy thing to do.

The problem is, the state does not always make it easy for you to find adoption records. Adoption court records are often sealed until the kids reach 18, both for the protection of the adopted children and the parents. Once you become an adult, it can still be pretty tough tracking down your parents. If they have moved, changed their names, or just disappeared off the grid you will never find them. Parents who put children up for adoption are not, as a rule, the most reliable people in the world. Aside from that, a lot of them feel guilt about the decision and don't want to be found.

It took me about two years doing adoption record searches, But in the end I finally found them. It was a pretty powerful moment for me, and I was nervous, as were they. When we met, however, we got along well. Not extremely well, but well. It was cordial and friendly, but they don't really feel like my parents. My birth parents are my acquaintances and nothing more.
