Did you check with your State ?
This is a long shot - we are in search of birthparents for a male named Phillip born June 7, 1964 in New York City. The adoption was handled through Childrens Aid Society - which later became Catholic Charities.

This is a long shot, there maybe some information taken from the court records at the time of the final adoption.
It may be that you could get some info from the court records. If there is information in those records, it will be what activities the court did at that hearing. There will probably be very little personal information, but it may provide names.
I wish you the best.
