You and the birth mother need to have an accurate date of birth for the child in order to post effectively. The BM needs to contact the agency and/or State, ask for accurate dob and put waivers on file. The birth mother is entitled to copies of any documents she signed such as Surrender/relinquishment documents as well as her own hospital records. Once you have an accurate dob, you can post on all the Internet Registries as well.
