Thesearchguru has posted helpful information on searching in each state. Here's the search resources in Colorado. Best of Luck! :) Colorado Searching Resources WELCOME TO THE SEARCH AND REUNION MESSAGE BOARD! If you know what adoption agency handled your adoption contact them for information from your adoption file that will help you with your search. If you were a private adoption or do not know the name of the adoption agency contact this office: Colorado Department of Human Services 1575 Sherman Street Denver, CO 80203-1714 (303) 866-3197 Fax: (303) 866-5563 E-mail: Sharen.Ford@state.co.us INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE IN YOUR STATE: Non-identifying informationӔ is information from your adoption file about your birth parents. It generally includes ages, marital status, states of birth, education, religion, occupations and a physical description of your birth parents. It should also include the reason for relinquishment and may include information about your aunts, uncles and grandparents. It is called non-identifying informationӔ because it does not include any identifying information such as names, addresses or social security numbers. If you already have your non-identifying information but it is information given to your adoptive parents at the time of your adoption you should re-apply for the non-identifying information. Agencies are giving out much more comprehensive information now that they did in the past. Identifying InformationӔ may be released when an adoptee is 18 years old and both the adoptee and the birth parents have signed consent forms. Other people who can also register are relatives of deceased birth parents and relatives of deceased adoptees. The information will be released only if both birth parents register unless either only one birth parent is listed on the original certificate or only one birth parent is still living.

Hello. Is your friend confident that his daughter was given up 9.17.78? I was given up 8.17.78 and I have been told that my birthmother was 16-17 years of age. Did your friend meet laurie? at a college party ? I was born in Denver on 7.31.78 and adopted 8.17.78. I'm probably not his match but I thought I'd write back and see. ad73178
