I know what you mean about not knowing what is real. Sometimes I wonder if my birthday is when I think it is, or if the time is right. I do know where it was though, and it was Methodist charities which yes, was separate from the state.
Have you gone through all your Dad's papers? We found some things pertaining to my sister's adoption, but there is so so so much more to be gone through, and I have just not felt up to it. I guess maybe you did before he went to the assisted living place?
I would have thought that NY would be more liberal in its adoption records than Oklahoma, but I guess not. In Oklahoma, you can send a letter to the state and if your birth parents try to contact you, they will give them the letter. Problem is, so many women used an assumed name. My birth mother did.
I wish Avery could have met his grandparents too.

Kelle went through all my parents paperwork, while selling the house. we sat on the floor in my old living room and didnt find anything.
Which was kind of weird, NOT a single piece of paper pertaining to the adoption.
My dad had to either get rid of it or gave it to someone for "safe" keeping.
I wrote to NYS, they will pass my information on if someone is looking for me, but i bet that will be a cold day in hell.
My birth mother would be 62 right now. After all my changes, shes looking for a "daughter" that dont exist.
I think the laws SUCK, so many groups are trying to change the laws in NYS, but i bet it will never happen. I do believe that the laws should change for health relations.
This is a great topic Jen.
