i was also adopted in santa clara county... adopted at birth. although i found my two brothers (who were not adopted) listed from 1962 & 64, i was not listed on that registry. i was not listed by my given (adopted) name nor my (adopted) mothers maiden name. i thought that i had actually found something. i went through 10,000 records to find that only 20 females were born in that county on my birthdate. only one of those names had no baby first name listed and the surname was the same as the maiden name which was exactly correct according to my situation IF it was me. unfortunately i have searched the web for that ONE listing, that one name that i assumed was my birth mothers name, and i have found NOTHING. i found only info that would indicate some error in this entry. i too would like to know if these records can be changed. in any regard, i am not listed AT all. i did read somewhere that we have the right to our original birth certificate (prior to the amended version) and the only names that can be removed are those that did not give consent to release. usually in adoptions that is only the mother, not the father (in some cases) nor the grandparents. let me know if you find out any other info and i will do the same. thanks.
