adoption in Germany

I think the best place to start is to determine if there was a agency involved -was the sister's adoptive family at the Germany US Base or was a religious organization like Catholic Charities involved in sending her to the US? Your friend should try to contact any agency if avail for more info about the family to try to narrow down info through the search. Is your friend registered at International Soundex Reunion Registry? She should! [url]www.kadima.com[/url] offers lists that can be bought that are compiled from databanks such as credit or drivers licenses. As an adoptee, I am not sure how it works other than you buy a list of females born on such and such day who resides in this or that state. That can be harder when you don't which state she may have moved to after arriving from Germany or what her married name may be. G's Adoption REunion page also offers links to international search angels- try to get one who is familiar with Germany and the US. I wish you both the best!

Thank you for this helpful response. I will ask at the US air base in Ramstein. I think the army helped to find and "import" the baby to the US. The problem is that the administration is very discreet with adoption information.

Update: Kadima-Index gave it. :dance: An ingenious source, - and really cheap compared to others. Now i know the marriage name. Rests just to find the current adress. Thanks a lot, leight!!

o.k. I have the adress. My next problem: I have no experience in contacting someone who was adopted. If she does not know her adoption-history? This may cause a shock? Who has some experience and can give me advice?

Glad to help! Please go to yahoo groups under the registry and have her sign up with them. They have example letters and other resources that will help her with either a first phone call or letter. You never know if the adoptee was told but if she came from another country then the chances increase as there are papertrails- ie foreign passports and birth certificates that have to be explained. Open and honest is the best way to approach this. Frankly, we prefer that the family member be the one to make first contact- not an outsider however close they may be to the family members.
