How does one find out if they are adopted?

If your mother won't tell you, then go to another family member that you can trust and ask them. Keep on asking until get an answer or where ever you live go thru the yellow pages of your telephone book and look under adoption or birth centers. Hope this helps you in your search. If you have an organization called Catholic Charities in your area you can call them and give them all of your information, like your birth date and hospital where you were born they might be able to help you. Good Luck.
