Excellent resource! December 27, 2008
This handbook is a must have for all who are searching for a lost loved one. Ms. Brown does an excellent job detailing specific resources that are available to the general public, and also provides templates for requesting information from everything from college records to sealed court records.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone beginning a search to locate their birth family.
A 133-page compendium of sound information, practical instructions, and real-world advice December 7, 2008
Teresa Brown is a retired paralegal, a reunited birthmother, the daughter of adoptive parents, and the sister to an adoptee. She draws upon her many years of personal experience and professional expertise to write a definitive instruction manual for those adoptees who seek to identify and locate their birth parents or their children given up for adoption in "Adoption Records Handbook: Birth Family Searches Made Easier With Self-Help, Tips, Registries, Search Angels, Pro Se Legal Forms, etc." A 133-page compendium of sound information, practical instructions, and real-world advice, "Birth Family Searches Made Easier" truly lives up to the promise of its title and should be considered an essential reference on how to obtain non-identifying information, locating a specific adoption court, providing both conventional and unconventional searches, petition the court to open sealed adoption records, finding where a birth child was placed, and accessing relevant public records. Simply stated, "Adoption Records Handbook" should be a part of the reference collections of every community library in the country.
