My Sister Who I Never Met

[Uranus]

So I am basically an only child. But I found out a couple years ago....i have a sister. You see... I was adopted. My biological mother was raped and when she gave birth...she couldn't afford to take care of me. So I am with my adoptive parents and they are wonderful. Now my biological mother actually had another child a year later. My sister... Lydia. She then was able to take care of my sister so all I know about her is her name.

My adoptive parents haven't been in contact for 14 years. I have no idea how my birth mother and my little sister are doing.

Is there anyway I am still able to find them?
I don't know where they are.
Is it even possible to find them?
I want to meet them.....and my little sister...Lydia

[Uranus]

I'm sorry that you've never meet your sister.
You could ask your parents about your biological mother and if they know anything about her and your sister, if they don't you culd ask them to try to contact her.

That wont work. They have no ways of contact anymore....

[Uranus]

Do you know at least her name?


No. I don't even know if my parents do.

All I know is my little sisters name....Lydia

Hm, that's difficult...I know from a friend that the agency doing the adoption had names and address of her biological parents...and could give it to her dunno what kind of paperwork it involves she then found her brother via facebook....

However sometimes the biological parents don't want there names to be given away for various reasons...so I guess you have to find out what it is in your case.

Dig up your adoption papers, it might give some clues about how to find them

I'm so sorry about your situation, and I feel for you. It's a good thing that you want to know this information and I pray that you are able to find answers and be reunited.

My best advice is just to take your time with it. This can be a long process and journey. Maybe ask your adoptive parents if you can see your birth certificate if it is available or any birth records they have of you. Facebook is also a good option to use. Good luck. <3

What others have said. Good luck on finding your family. I hope your adoptive parents will support you.

Thats good - I do hope its all good and remember it might be a mountain to climb but at least a call is good - hope so.

Let us know what happens.:)

Let us know what happens.:)


I will. Turns out the only way to find them is by a judge approving the release of information. I'm going to speak to an attorney tomorrow. Hopefully he can help.
Birth certificate won't help though. Not a bit
