    My mother was adopted in 1972, she has since passed away and I know that before she died she always wanted to find her real mother, it was something that bothered her alot

    Now that both my parents have passed away and my grandparents are very old and sick(after they pass away i'll have no family left) i'd like to find my grandmother, but i dont know where to start)


    Btw, i dont want my grandmother to know i'm looking it would break her heart

    Hi Digigal,

    How much do you know about your mothers adoption? Do you know the name of the agency through which she was placed? Your first stop should be a letter to the adoption board requesting details of the agency your mother was placed with - their address is listed on the adoption board's homepage. From there you may be dealing with a HSE incarnation of a former adoption society, or one of the few remaining independents
