ADOPTION – SEARCHING FOR IDENTITY
Marylee Hagen - Presenter
Get ready to be a detective! My daughter was adopted as a baby and birth parents were unknown. Until original birth certificates were opened in January 2018 in Colorado, it remained a mystery for years. If we had health records, it would have saved us so many heartaches. I used many different techniques to finally locate her parents as they did not do DNA. I want other people to know about what is and is not available in Colorado and other states. Many of these ideas can also work for finding any lost person in your life!
