You need to contact the Adoption Disclosure Registry in Halifax and have your contact info added. If one or both of your biological parents have registered, they will initiate contact between you.
Also, if you have your original birth certificate, you may be able to contact the Department of Vital Statistics (also in Hfx) and request the "long form birth certificate" with that registration number.
Good luck - it's a strange province to search in. It's soooo small yet very well hidden.

Good luck with your search. I live in NS, and the information posted is correct.
Also, have you tried using social networking sites to gain some information? It's amazing how much personal stuff people put on those, and it might aid you in your search.

Was your adoption finalized in Canada or the US. If Canada - what Province - if US - what State.
I say this because if your adoption was done in Canada it wasn't necessarily done in NS and could have been done in ON.
Not sure how the rules were when you were born but its worth checking...
If it was done in the States then there are two potential avenues. The first one being your border crossing paperwork which won't be sealed as far as I know should have your original information......The second is you may get lucky if the adoption was finalized in one of the few states with open records.
Kind regards,

My adoption was finalized in the us new York state borough of queens. And I do have my passport from than.
But not sure how that would help

I would go to the US Immigration and ask for copies of the paperwork for your bordercrossing and immigration for your records. It should have your details pre-adoption in it.

THanks for the help. my passport was issued in ottawa so would the paper work for that be in Canada or us?also Would my immagration papers have my original mothers name on them? It seems I was brought to the states in 71 and adoption was finalized in 72, would these papers be accesable to me or even still available?
