Colorado Adoption Search & Reunion Resources

a guide for adoptees and birth parents


Colorado Adoption Registries

Colorado Confidential Intermediary Program

  • Colorado's Confidential Intermediary Program This is expensive (presently $675 to start a search), but for many this may be the best way to initiate a search in Colorado. It is for birth parents, biological grandparents, adoptees, adoptive parents and siblings of adoptees -- all must be 18 or older. The adoption had to take place in Colorado. Make sure you read and understand all of the material at the program's website. You can download the necessary form ("Motion and Affidavit to Open Adoption File") you will need here. The various forms are:
    • JDF #343 for adoptees
    • JDF #344 for birth parents and biological grandparents
    • JDF #341 for adoptive parents
    • JDF #342 for a sibling of an adoptee
