Closed adoption suck ass. NYS is very hard on giving out any kinds of info, hell im 42 fucking years old, i deserve to know.
I always told myself i would wait to start my search for my birth parents after both my parents past on. after my dad passed in 2006, i wrote to NYS.
I got a letter back at christmas time 2006 giving me very little about my birth mother.
She was canadian, she was 20 and I was her first child. wow that was all, never heard anything again from NYS.
Going to read through the thread now.

I did not realize you were adopted either.
I guess, till my Dad died and all the stuff that arises around that, I did not realize being adopted made a difference in my life. I thought it was his abuse that defined me and made me succeptible to controlling dominating people.
It is very interesting to read and study about adoption, and why I am like I am.
Oklahoma is very difficult to get info from too, I agree it totally sucks that people still don't see the damage it casues to not share the truth of a person's own history with them. How much it would mean to you to know, especially now that you have a son.
Thanks for posting!
