texas search angel

Greetings Search Angels. I'm searching on behalf of my dad who was born July 28, 1947 in Dawson Co. TX. We do not know the names of his birth parents. I've picked up so many good tips from this site, but have a few questions. I've performed a search of the vital statistics for Dawson County and have found 1 boy that was born the same day as my father and one boy that was born 5 days earlier, but has the same first and middle name as my father. I've seen reference to checking "the book in Austin" to see if the birth certificate numbers match. What book is this and what office in Austin? Thank you in advance for any tips you can provide.

Sandy,I'm an adult adoptee in my 50's looking for help in locating my birth families. My closed adoption went through the Harris County, Texas Family Court. Around the mid 1990's I contacted the Texas Adoption Registry in Austin. I was warned that the process could be long & that even my birthday raises a flag that my birth could be approximated. In addition, I was still encouraged & advised that perhaps some information(i.e. a certificate #) on my adopted birth certificate can be cross reference to the original archives in Austin. But my first attempt should start in Houston. Over 10 years ago I cross referenced info from the downtown Houston warehouse logs. As I appeared without representation before a Family Court Judge my request to ask for my records to be opened was declined. The judge gave me no explanation & didn't even ask me why I was making the request. Since then my adopted father has died. My maternal adopted family supports my mom & believes I'm dishonoring the love I've received from my adopted families. Since I have been diagnosed with congested heart failure my life has changed tremendously. I'm very fortunate to have my 2nd pacemaker. Each new day brings the gift to inhale & exhale. Your support as a volunteer Search Angel is immeasurable....I'm new to this website & need assistance navigating to know where to look receive your reply. With a heart of gratitude I await your reply!!! Smarkle

You should look at this web site [url=http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/vs/reqproc/adoptionregistry.shtm]Texas Vital Statistics – Central Adoption Registry[/url] which is the voluntary mutual-consent registry. It's possible that his birth mother has registered and if he registers too they will connect them. Good luck.
