Hi Carol-

I don't think the group mentioned in the previous post still exists.

However, there is a free Yahoo group that you can join. You just need a Yahoo email account (which is free). The name is "Washington State Adoption Search" and the URL is [url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/washingtonstateadoptionsearch[/url].

For a search in WA, one of the first things you need to do is to get your non-identifying information (non-id). You can get this info from the county where the adoption was finalized (usually same county where adoptive parents lived), and from the adoption agency (if one was involved), and DSHS in Olympia (if DSHS handled the adoption).

Good luck!
