Maybe, but we don't know how old OP is. The demographics may have been very different when she was born

but op isnt even sure she wants to have anything with her bio mom. so why is she spending time looking for her? and also if she sent you emails then can you send her back? it should show where its coming from.
op you need to decide if you want to really make a relationship first. you say you dont have expectations so why spend the time looking for them?

1. Is there a post that I don't see? Where does she talk about not wanting a relationship and emails? (Totally serious in asking, not sarcastic)
2. I have adopted relatives. They all wanted to know who their biological families were even though they don't want a relationship with them. There are no hard feelings, it's just the way it is.
3. It's important information that people want to know; I think it gives closure to the "what if they never had me adopted." Having information is a very different desire than having a relationship.

OP, the most important question is how you came to be adopted by your parents. agency? private adoption? through a rav/askan? advertisement? Social services? There has to be a paper trail, or people who were involved 22 years ago with the adoption. Ask your parents how the adoption happened and then maybe you can trace it further. Unless you already did this and got nowhere?

Many years ago an adopted relative of mine put an ad in a Jewish magazine or newspaper with the few details she knew about her birth — and found cousins! They came to DS#1's wedding.
Wishing you much hatzlacha in your search!

What about through the lost and found in hamodia. They have an article every few weeks where you can send in a short letter with as many details as possible, and if someone can help they contact you through them.

DH's grandfather went to EY in the early years of the state to try to find relatives that might have survived WWII (particularly he was looking for 1 brother). He put ads in the local papers. While he didn't find that brother (he did find out what had happened to him); he found many cousins and other relatives.
