Is there any other agency in the state of GA who would hold adoption records other than the GARR? I know for a fact that my mother gave a son up for adoption but upon contacting the GARR they said that they have no record whatsoever of this happening.
My mother will not give up any information...is there anyone else I can go to? Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. We have been searching for our brother for over 11 years now...always running into brick walls
because my mother won't even give us an exact date of birth to go on. All we know is that he was born sometime in 1965 in
Atlanta. It seems that back then they made it way too easy to put a child up for adoption and there be no record of it.
I wish you the best of luck in your search...I hope you find what you are looking for.

I am Annette Pitts-Case. I have for many years been in search for my birth parents. I was born in Albany Ga, in 1958. My parents picked me up at the doctors home and hios wife visited my parents about 3 mos after I was born. Dr Charles Lamb is tthe doctor. I have found out from the lawyer that handled the adoption for my parents. That I have a half brother about 5 years older than I. We feel he was adopted by doctor Lamb because all of his children were adopted. We need to fight the state to get our records opened. We have the right to know our hertiage and medical history.

What is the reunion registry? I'm new here and reading thru some threads trying to decide where to post. I'm in search of any family I may have from GA, but have no clue where to start since I don't have any info. to go on and the state agency I came from wants $ to help - I personally think that's wrong, but the way it is and I don't have the amt. they want - $300 plus. Any help where I can post my info. free would be great. Cindy

My mother won't give up any information either. Are you sure it wasn't a daughter your mother gave up? My mom was born Dec. 27, 1955 in Fulton County, GA.
