 Quote From: scrapbearz Hello!
I am currently starting a search with the Children's Home and Aid Society of Illinois for my biological parents. I was told about my adoption when I was in 2nd grade. I've been wondering about my biological parents for many years now (I am currently 34 years old). I've finally gotten the courage up to search for them. I do not know whatwho I will find but I would like to know where I came from. Here is the information I currently have:
Born: 01-24-1971 Hospital: St. Luke's in Chicago Birth Name: Biological Mother wanted to name me Norma Christine. I have not seen my original birth certificate so I do not know what is on there.
If you know of anyone who can help, I would greatly apprciate it.

Obtaining Non-Identifying Information: For private adoptions, an adopted adult may obtain non-identifying information. For adoptions facilitated through the State Department of Child and Family Services, adopted adults, birth parents, and adoptive parents may receive non-identifying information.
The original birth certificate may be obtained through the registry or by petitioning the court in which the adoption was finalized, and being approved to receive it.
National Adoption Information Clearinghouse
***IMPORTANT PLEASE READ*** As of Jan 1, 2004 not only will adult adopted persons, and adopted parents on behalf of minor adopted children, be able to petition the court, but also adult children of a deceased adopted person, adult siblings of a adopted person if the birthparent is deceased , birth parents, and adult siblings of a deceased birth parent (otherwise aunts & uncles of the adopted person). All of these people will now be able to register with the Illinois Adoption Registry for a match or will be able to petition the court for appointment of a CI. As of July 2003 there is no longer a court petition fee but the service still remains. And Judges no longer can deny a petition as it is part of the law.
