The hospital I was born in is no longer there, so how do I go about getting any records and how do I go about getting those records? My adoptive parents are totally against me finding my birthmother and are not willing to help.

Anyway, I am sorry to hear that your adoptive family is not supportive or understanding of your desire to search. Hopefully, with time, you'll be able to make them understand why it is important to *YOU*, and that as an adult you have a right to know where you came from. My adoptive parents have been uncomfortable with my search and reunion over the years as well, but they at least are aware of why it was important to me, and they also know that I was not trying to replace them with my "real" parents.There are many websites you can go to for info about how to begin your search, obtain records and non-indentifying information, etc. The best is Shea's Search Series at:[url="http://www.plumsite.com/shea/series.html"]http://www.plumsite.com/shea/series.html[/url]After you know the basics and have gotten started, I'd also be sure to try these as well...ISRR:[url="http://www.plumsite.com/isrr/"]http://www.plumsite.com/isrr/[/url]C.A.R.E.[url="http://www.reunionregistry.org/"]http://www.reunionregistry.org/[/url]Volunteer Search Network:[url="http://www.vsn.org/"]http://www.vsn.org/[/url]Voices of Adoption:[url="http://www.ibar.com/voices/./"]http://www.ibar.com/voices/./[/url]Vital Records info (U.S.):[url="http://vitalrec.com/index.html"]http://vitalrec.com/index.html[/url]Adoption Search info:[url="http://www.adopting.org/serch.html"]http://www.adopting.org/serch.html[/url]Best of luck to you, and all others who are still searching for the truth of their origins...Cheryl-
