Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Who am I?
I was adopted several times until my
final adopted mother did so in
September 24th 1984. The problem
lies in that she passed away May
29th, 2006. For the most part of my
life I did not know where I was born
at, what state or country I was even
born in. She told me just before she
passed away that she had no
adoption papers for me or my
brother. I am now 32 years old and
have no social security number to
work with. What are my options and
how do I start finding myself? I have
tried several ''people search'' places
without any avail. Please help!

Re: Who am I?
You will have to start with affidavits and documentation for obtaining a declaration of a birth record. These can come from people who knew you as a child, and school, baptismal records etc. Once you obtain a birth certificate, the remainder will flow from there. An attorney may be able to expedite this process for you. Good luck.
