Subject: [ROOTS-L] RE: Adoptions

ANSWER TO BELOW:
 
Lori,
Not sure if this will work.....However I do know that at least sometimes  
"Both" the original birth name and the adopted name are on line in the  
California Birth Records that are on Ancestry.
 
As long as you have the original birth date and "Hopefully" the county of  
birth you might be able to narrow it down. That's assuming at least the first  
name wasn't changed!!

Just a thought, Gretchen
 
 
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
 
From: Treesearcher28@aol.com
Subject: Adoptions

My older sister  is trying to find her adoption records. My dad adopted  her 
and her  brother over 50 years ago here in California. I have asked him for  
the  
adoptions papers and he says he does not have them anymore. How can I  help  
her find her adoption  records?
