People deprived of their parents in childhood try to find them, even though their own mother abandoned them. But these searches are hampered by legal restrictions, statute of limitations and lack of information. Be prepared for the fact that the search can be delayed, and the expected result can be very disappointing.
Instructions
Step 1
If you were brought up in an orphanage, the director has your personal file, which contains the details of your parents or next of kin. Of course, the director has no right to show you this data, since it is classified (according to the Law on Adoption). But if you have good contact with the director, you are already 18 years old and there are no restrictions on legal capacity, the management may go in violation of job descriptions. A personal file may contain information about your biological parents, sometimes only about one of them - name, surname, year of birth and address of residence at the time when the documents were drawn up for deprivation of parental rights, their restriction or transfer of the child to an orphanage in connection with the death of the guardian.
Step 2
Information about your parents may also be contained in the guardianship authorities at the place of your stay. But the guardianship has the right to provide you with such information only by a court decision or at the request of the prosecutor's office. If you were adopted, your new parents know the information about your biological parents.
Step 3
If your biological mother at the time of your transfer to the orphanage was not identified (you were thrown, left in the hospital, etc.), accordingly, there will be no information about her. There may be information about the hospital in which you were born. And you can drive into it and talk to the staff if there is someone else who has been working since then. Perhaps someone remembers your case and can help with information. If you were thrown or at the time of your transfer to an orphanage, the whereabouts of your parents were not established, the internal affairs bodies must have a document on the discovery of the found (thrown) child.
Step 4
The personal file may contain information about those people who took care of you until you got to the orphanage. Find them, perhaps they remember your parents and can tell about their further fate.
Step 5
Since it has been a long time since you entered the orphanage, your mother's whereabouts may be out of date. Information services and the police may not always know where it is. She can change her last name, place of residence and even citizenship. If you know the first and last name, search for the mother on social networks. If a woman fits the description you are looking for, gently try to figure out some of the circumstances of her life. Perhaps she prefers not to remember that period, you need to be ready for this.
Step 6
Apply with a request to find a mother in the "Wait for Me" program. But this is more likely the last resort. You can go there if you are separated from your mother due to compelling circumstances. Then chances are she's looking for you too.
