I'm into geneaology...it's fun, but soemtimes you hit a snag. Birth parents vs. adoptive parents.
I know that it's fairly tough to find birth parents in Canada...and I'm looking into it a bit for statutes of limitations etc... I thought that it'd be more difficult in the USa, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
These links are pretty useless for me 'cause my family pretty much stayed in Canada, but I remember people on here mentioning that they were adopted.
Just in case you hadn't found these already, or if you weren't looking but were thinking about looking.
