Did you ever try to call Polish Embassy or a consulate?

Yes. Even often. Mostly the visa department of the London Consulate. I never had to wait more than a few minutes, was never delayed, and had no problems at all.

Nowadays, they even have email.

Hello I was hoping that you may be able to help me find my mother. Her name is Irena Dzierniejko. I was adopted in 1991 from Bialystok and have been looking for her. I lived in the state children's home and my name used to be Urszula Dzierniejko. If you have any information or might know someone who does I would great appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

Witam, miałem nadzieję, że możesz mi pomóc znaleźć moją matkę. Nazywa się Irena Dzierniejko. Zostałem adoptowany w 1991 roku z Białystok i szukałem jej. Mieszkałem w państwowym domu dziecka, a ja nazywałam się Urszula Dzierniejko. Jeśli masz jakieś informacje lub znasz kogoś, kogo znam, bardzo bym Ci pomógł. Dziękuję Ci bardzo

Hi everyone - I've been trying to find my family for many years now. I have my birth certificate from Poland. I was put in an Orphanage in Bylostok when I was younger and was the middle child our of 5. Our last name was Zorawski (which I know if Very Common) but I'm hoping maybe someone will.come across this one day. Out mother's name was Maria I believe and father name was Roman. I was adopted to the US when I was 3. My name on the certificate was Justina Zorawski born March 7th 1986.

If anyone can assist me in find my siblings or my biological parents- I would be forever grateful. Thank You

Since you are new here, I am reposting my Post 88.

Don't. They have their problems and don't need yours or even you.

Your adoptive parents did all the heavy lifting so the idea that your "heart" will be pulling you to the people that did nothing but were happy to get rid of you will not make them happy.

Those tear-jerking reunions have a very short life. Reality is a lot less cute than what you see on Lifetime.

Was this directed towards me? From my understanding I don't believe my biological parents had a choice at the time. From what was told to me times were extremely tough and unfortunately the well being for us was at steak. It wasn't a choice they really had to give up 5 children .

No. I posted it earlier. It applies to all adopted persons. Based on my stats, people don't like to be found. If somebody told me that I was adopted, my answer would be, OK, I am cool with it. What's for dinner? Zero relevance.

My first question after the suggestion to find my birth "parents" would be what do I do with them if I find them? What if they tell me to just go away?

What if they feel like crap about giving their kids up? What's in it for them to have such a reunion? Are you going to bring them here and watch them suffer from culture shock? I would want to answer all those what-if questions before the contact.

I can't speak for anyone else but in my case I would want to try and find out my siblings more than my parents.

I don't have any memories of me in an orphanage except 1. 1 that is close to my heart. I've tried so many avenues and it always leads to a dead end.

I as being an adopted adult that now has children of her own - family history is important- more for my children than myself.

These two Facebook groups might be of use to you:
facebook.com/groups/283093399209396/
facebook.com/groups/179816848883151/

Looking at them, they both (the first in particular) have some success finding people's birth parents. Although the language of the groups is Polish, they would probably be OK if you made a post in English.

That makes perfect sense. Good luck.
