Non-identifying Information (Non-ID) At the time of the adoption, the birth-parents (most often the birth-mother) were asked to supply basic information concerning her family life, health, physical descriptions, education, hobbies and similar things. This information provides the basis for what is referred to in adoption circles as "non-id." Likewise, adoptive parents supplied similar information to the agencies or lawyers that were handling the adoption. According to the agencies and lawyers, this information was used to provide a suitable match between adoptive children and their prospective parents. You can obtain your Non-ID from the state of Louisiana. If the agency you were adopted from is still around in some form, start there first. The state's Non-ID sometimes releases unknown facts. If you have written for your Non-ID in the past and received it, it is a good idea to write again if several years have passed, different employees pick and choose different information. Birth-families and birth-siblings are entitled some information as well. The "Non-ID" can be helpful to birth-families and birth-siblings searching to confirm the date of birth, maternity home, hospital and other important search information. Please keep in mind that this information will not release any "identifying" information, please do not be disappointed. It is merely a way to learn more about your history. Be sure that you do not post or divulge the entire contents of your Non-ID to someone that you do not know or on the Internet. It is helpful to keep parts of your Non-ID a secret in case you come across someone on the Internet that could be a birth-relative. This information can be used to compare notes and to weed out imposters!!! Start at your agency before writing the state! Write to Adoption Services P. O.
