Adoption Records -Help

How can I find records for adoption for my father?? He was born into a big family and all but 2 of the biological children were adopted out into different families. How can I find both sets of records??

I'm so glad you are asking for help. Now where to start. First of all it's important to know where he was born before we can help you find the records. All states have difference adoption protocol. Have you searched the Wiki for the state in question?

Here are a couple of sites to visit that may help depending on the time period.

If you go to familysearch.org and click on SEARCH, at the bottom of this box is the Research Wiki
