My birth name was Larry A Dobson Jr. I was born in 1961.I was adopted at age 5 in Connecticut where they lived. My "parents" had numerous children all but 1 were givin up for adoption. I think I was in the middle. I would like to re-unite with any/all of my siblings. Can anyone help?
I think your best bet would be to start with the state. Fill out release forms and send them in so that if any of your siblings contact the state in the future they will have your release. One of more of your siblings may have also done this as well so you may get info right away.

Your other options are to post on registries like this site (see reunite tab above) and search perhaps for the name and state? Also ISRR.net.
Contact your local media to tell your story of searching?
