Searching for biological parents, children or siblings

You want to learn about your origins, or you are searching for a child you gave up for adoption. When and how this is possible, and which authorities you can contact for assistance.

Note

Researching your origins can be a long and complicated process, especially in cases where an adoption took place abroad. Depending on the situation, the search may ultimately prove unsuccessful.
