My father was born in Texas in 1923. He was adopted and he never spoke of it for some reason. I'm trying to trace my biological family but I'm stumped. Any thoughts?
Emma, I'll offer some thots for your evaluation.
It's hard to know what the adoption laws in Texas were at that time. All states have their own way of accessing information taken from court records.
Even the labeling of the "adoption court" can sometimes be held as the "court of common pleas."
I suspect that in 1923, adoption information was not sealed. Anything in those court records would be available to you.
If you know where your dad was adopted it may be possible to get information from those records.
I wish you the best.
