My Mom was adopted. How could I find her real parents?

Is this a search for you or her?  It needs to be one for her.

You could try social media if you know where she was born (date and hospital) and her original name if it's known.  Facebook, Instagram, TikTok..  posts and videos and have people share it for you.

There's also DNA matching through DNA kits using ancestry.com and similar companies.

Keep in mind not all reunifications go well.  Sometimes the biological family doesn't want to be located.  It's possible her bio mom has married and had additional children who don't know she placed a baby for adoption.

DNA makes you related, it doesn't necessarily make you family.  

My grandma was adopted as a newborn but her biological parents always knew where she was.  Her biological mom's sister attended the same church her adoptive parents did, that's how they found a family for her.  They reached out to her when she was 19.   They remained part of her life after that but she always told people her "real" parents were her adoptive parents.  I know both families and always did and I'm more bonded with the adoptive family.  I don't have any issues with the biological ones, I just was around the adoptive ones more so I'm closer to them.  The biological ones I like them but they are more like acquaintances than family.  My grandma's adoptive parents were the type of grandparents everyone should be fortunate to have.  Her biological parents didn't fit the stereotype of people choosing to place for adoption.  They weren't young and broke, they were married and well off.  They also went on to have 4 more kids, who they did parent and they would never tell her why they placed her and she said her relationship with them was awkward at best and she could tell her bio mom wasn't comfortable around her.  The most they ever touched on the why question was that they hadn't been married for 9 months when she was born and that was looked down on back then.  This was a second marriage for both of them, both had spouses who had died and they each had a child older than her who were raised by grandparents.  She grew up an only child and the best part of reunification for her wasn't her parents, it was having siblings and she was able to bond with them....Show more
