[or-roots] adoption info

[CKlooster at aol.com]

Here are some links to pages providing information about Oregon adoption 
record release laws.  In case the links don't work as inserted, go to 
www.bastardnation.com.  This is a website for an organization of adoptees who are 
activists supporting adoptee's rights.  While not a genealogy site, this website and 
related links make it probably the most complete resource for those searching 
for families of origin.

If you already have valid information regarding name of birth family, then 
online census search would be the place to begin.  However, census seach in this 
instance may be complicated by the fact that Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon 
is the home of Southern Oregon College (Now Southern Oregon University).  
While I don't know the student census for that college in the 1930's, there would 
certainly have been students passing thru the community who would not 
necessarily appear on census records.  If either of your grandfather's birth parents 
was a college student, the search may be difficult.
