All Other Information: I have no hard feelings about my birth mother. I know she did what she had to do. She was 31 when she had me! She had either 2 or 3 children of her own and she was marrying a man who had a couple of children. That's all I know! Please if you know of anyone who knows me let me know. I don't understand what makes my Mother's right to remain anonymous more of a right that to know who she is! I am a human being and I deserve to know who she is, just as everyone out there that knows there MOM!

Information Guide | Information Center | Assistance Program Links | Reunion Registry | Options for Pregnant Women| Home Page       FARR was established in 1982 by the Florida Legislature for people affected by adoption inFlorida to have the opportunity to reunite.

Eligibility: Adopted Adults, Birth Parents, Birth Siblings, Birth Aunts and Uncles, Birth Grandparents and Adoptive Parents on behalf of their Adopted Minor Child. The way FARR works: If two (or more) people affected by an adoption in Florida lists themselves on the registry, then FARR gets them in touch with both parties. The registry is passive and does not actively search. Fees: There is a one time fee of $35 unless the applicant is able to provide proof of financial hardship (i.e. eligibility for unemployment, SSI, public assistance, etc.) In these cases fees may be waived. There is a fee of $10 to update information on the registry.
