My wife was born on August 30, 1965 in Stephens Point, Wisconsin. She was adopted through Catholic Charities. She has always been a hard working, loving, honest, and caring person. There is a tremendous void in her life not knowing where she came from. She has worked in Law Enforcement/Corrections for years but is now retired. We have one beautiful daughter who is 15 years old. My wife does not want to bother on interfere with any relatives that she may have. She just wants to find out who these people are and determine if they would not like to connect with her. She will agree to any stipulations they might present
Additionally her only daughter is very interested in finding where she came from. She is a high school cheerleader, homecoming court, good student, athlete, and very beautiful person. She very much wants to find this information.
Is there anyone out there who could help her out. This has been very troubling for her during her life. She has wonderful parents that adopted her, along with ( 2 ) other siblings from different families. They love her but she really needs to make this happen.
This has been very hard on her since she was a small child.
Not knowing, "ABSOLUTELY NEEDING" MEDICAL history on ALL involved, wondering, hoping, etc.
If there is anyone who would like to do something very kind for a fellow human being, please step up and provide any information you may have.
It would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone would/could do a good deed, this is something that would make someone extremely happy.
Please help!
Wisconsin has one of the better laws in place in regards to closed records.
Read the attached link detailing how the laws work in relation to non-identifying info, access to identifying info, the mutual consent/acess portion and how they will attempt to search etc.
Who to contact is also included in the link.

You should also contact the CC adoption agency/maternity home for non-id info and ANY and ALL information contained in her file. Sometimes there will be letters in the file recognise that they will black out identifying info but sometimes they miss things as well. Do a google search to determine which actual agency she was placed through and or maternity home. Your wife may know the name already or if you need help just shout.
Be prepared for differences - could be her birthdate, could be anything that could be changed. Her mother may not have even been told the sex of the baby - so don't discount anything - just remember you can do dna testing to confirm quite cheaply.
Once you have done both the State and CC and if you are still drawing a blank there are search angels (free) who will help but will need all the non-id info you get from both places.
Good luck - hope your search is quick and your wife finds what she needs. Tell her there are some adoptees here from the same era if she ever wants to chat (I'm a '61 adoptee).
Kind regards,
Dickons
