My brother and his girlfriend gave up their daughter for adoption in 1995. They knew they were not suitable parents. He passed away in 2002 and I have no idea where the mother is. Is there a non-intrusive way to contact her parents to let them know we are open to contact with the daughter? She might want to know more about her background and family. This was in the state of Oregon

Hi Munchen008, thank you for caring about your niece and wanting to share family information.
Because she's still a minor all information shared would have to be at the discretion of her adoptive parents. If you know what agency your niece was adopted through, you could attempt to contact them and let them know you have information to pass on.
If you haven't done so already, please register at the International Soundex Reunion Registry. Even though she's a minor, I know of caring and secure adoptive parents who have registered there at the request of their adoptive child. You can download the forms and learn more at http://www.isrr.net It's a long shot, but it's free and you want to be sure you can be found.
Oregon is a restored access state so when your niece becomes an adult she will be able to obtain a copy of her original birth certificate. Do you know if your brother's name was entered on there?
I'm very sorry you lost your brother.

if she wants to know more, she can easily find you. even though my birth parents came looking for me and we have a relationship, i wouldn't recommend it. shes to young. way till she is 18. then u can look for her. also take in to consideration that she may not WANT to be found. i did, but thats just me

You probably could but i wouldnt if i were you.
No disrespect to your brother but he thought it was best and its what he wanted is for his daughter to be with a family that can be parents for her and thats her family now. Even though she is your biological family your not her family she has a new one now.
