Genealogy / Trying to find info on Pod Kopcem in Krakow - dom dziecka children house (orphanage) [30]

I was born in Poland and adopted at the age of 4. I have since grown up in the USA. I am now a college student at 18 and I want to start learning about my past. I was born in Krakow and was adopted from the Pod kopcem Dom Dziecka. I'm having trouble finding info on it online and was wondering if anyone could help tell me about it. I plan on call sometime and trying to get more records I eventually would like to locate my birth mother.

Thank You

Peter: Well just to answer some of that from my experience I can still speak some english just a few phrases but my adopted parents didn't speak any polish so when they adopted me I was immediately put into English classes to learn the language and never spoke polish again. As for how much I can remember I remember certain things about the orphanage such as the schedule of the day going to church small things. The thing that I do remember the most is my mother she would visit me everyday and when she could would bring me a lollipop. I can remember what she looks like and can picture it when ever I want. And about treading lightly I will but it is something that just bothers me all the time even if she doesn't want to know me I just need to see her. I have grown up in a great home with great parents who have given me everything. I got lucky but she used to visit me everyday when I was at the orphanage so that makes me think that she might want to see me and see what I have become. I just have to at least try otherwise I will regret it forever.

I have herd about the laws does anyone know how hard it is to get information from the orphanage or the courts? My parents told me a long time ago that it is actually against the law to look for birth parents in Poland is that true?

Thank you

I would need to find a place to live a job for the whole summer, I was born in Poland but have never been back since i was 4 so I think it would be a great experience for me. Please help me.

Thank you

I would love to volunteer what type??? But I think I would still need to find some type of job just to at least cover my living expenses. Any job would be fine though and I have great experience Just to let you know ive worked at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester for 3 years and am currently a student worker and filling in for an administrator.

Yes and have looked at some of them but am really not sure about how Polands star rating coincides with the U.S's star rating. Is a 4 in Poland the same as a 4 star in the us?

Plus I like to get second thoughts through here from people that live in Poland and know the place well.

That is really cheap for gas, here we can pay up 4$ at some places although it has been coming down.

Per Gallon that is how people in Poland measure their gas also right?
