Adoption Search & Historical Archives


Through the years, we have served
hundreds of thousands of children and families.

Uncover your personal connection to our storied past.

We understand how important it is to locate records of loved ones and long-lost relatives as you uncover valuable information related to your personal history.


When Children’s Home first began offering residential services 155 years ago, our unique building took on a special and rich history, filling the hallways with stories and what we now use as offices – once had beds and dressers to keep children safe and comforted at night.

We will always do our best to help you locate these special records, but some of our databases are limited.
