How do I search in PA? What am I entitled to and where can I go for info or search help? How can my agency or county Orphans' Court where the adoption was finalized help me? Where are support groups and good registries to try? What does an adoption decree or relinquishment papers look like?

PAFind

How would you like to get and send e-mail to people helping one another search in Pennsylvania? You can by joining PAFind, an email search and support mailing list which has been witness to 100 reunions annually. There is no non-adoption-related material on this list.

It's a rare thing to be among people who really "get it" but now you can ask your question, state your feelings, or discuss legislation on adoption related issues in Pennsylvania. Come on out of the closet (as far out as you want) and tell us who you seek, about relinquishing your child, about dealing with adoptive parents or friends who do or don't understand your needs.

PAFind is a cyberhome to birthparents, adoptees and siblings who like a forum where they can see they are not alone in search and who want to help others where they can.
