Alternatively you might have to go to the state that the adoption took place in to find the records of the adoption.

I am getting at the larger picture of it all, which is poignant today. A lot is being put on one's race or country of origin in our country. White Supremacy is considered health crisis and bigger than Climate Change. Reparations are be awarded on a state level and being talked about in Congress. How do we define both groups and groups beyond that? Asians are being attacked purely do to their race we hear every day.
Everything is identity based, yet I am not sure the definition of how we fit into one of or the other. Is it just a shot-from-the-hip definition?
Ancestry was mentioned and has holes. Genetic testing is method. Should we even try to divide or group ourselves into these to start with?
I take it some find this a difficult topic and it is. I fall into many of these groups, or none of them depending who is deciding.
