WELCOME TO THE SEARCH AND REUNION MESSAGE BOARD! Be sure and also post on the New JerseyӔ message board on this website where Theresa65, board volunteer, search expert and reunited New Jersey adoptee, can help you with specifics in New Jersey. If you know what adoption agency handled your adoption contact them for information from your adoption file that will help you with your search. If you were a private adoption or do not know the name of the adoption agency contact this office: New Jersey Department of Human Services Division of Youth and Family Services 50 East State Street, 5th Floor, CN 717 Trenton, NJ 08625-0717 (609) 984-2380 Fax: (609) 984-5449 World Wide Web: [url]http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/adoption/adopt.html[/url] E-mail: ecrummy@dhs.state.nj.us INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE IN YOUR STATE: Non-identifying informationӔ for the adoptee is information from your adoption file about your birth parents. It generally includes ages, marital status, states of birth, education, religion, occupations and a physical description of your birth parents. It should also include the reason for relinquishment and may include information about your aunts, uncles and grandparents. It is called non-identifying informationӔ because it does not include any identifying information such as names, addresses or social security numbers. If you already have your non-identifying information but it is information given to your adoptive parents at the time of your adoption you should re-apply for the non-identifying information. Agencies are giving out much more comprehensive information now that they did in the past. Mutual Consent RegistryӔ is a registry where adoptees and birth parents can register the adoption information. If both parties register normally the agency responsible for the registry will notify both parties that consent has been given to contact each other. Contact this office: New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services Adoption Registry Coordinator PO Box 717 Trenton, NJ 08625-0717 (609) 984-6800 Fax: (609) 984-5449 World Wide Web: [url]http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/adoption/registryframe.html[/url] E-mail: dhelb@dhs.state.nj.us Confidential Intermediary ProgramӔ is a service sponsored by the state of adoption that will search for and locate the birth family member that you are looking for. This program will make the first contact but if the person contacted declines contact the agency will not give you the information to contact them yourself. There is usually a fee associated with this service through the governing agency of adoptions for your state of adoption.
