then you need to find a friend who can make a few phone calls for you.
but.... the court will not discuss anything without proof of who you are.
if you know your mother's name you might find her through social media. this might be the easier route.
keep in mind that your mother may not want contact.
Sorry I don't even have any idea of how to try to find one, plus the fact that I don't speak polish can't help.

Life / Is living cost in Poland lower than Germany ? [32]
some things are cheaper, some are more expensive.... and some are the same. example: i paid 60 cents for 3.5% milk this morning.
with some of the housing offers i've seen on here i'd say that plenty of folk are paying less in Germany.

this is true. however, it's a nice day today with blue sky.

it was by no means a harsh or bad winter.
