Who is the Adoption Registry for?
This registry is for California-born adoptees and their birth family members who are mutually searching for each other.
It is for an adoptee wondering, "How do I find my birthmother or birthfather, and do I have any siblings?" It is also for biological parents who are curious about the child they relinquished for adoption.
By using this registry everyone can safely and privately have their reunion facilitated by a volunteer "search angel".
No personal identifying information will be displayed on the site.
Get Started
Begin by registering and providing information regarding the adoption.
Then search the registry of over 7,400 registrants. If you find a possible match, click on the registration number and an email will be sent to Search Angel Judy who will research if it is a match.
