I don’t know anything about researching adopted children. Sorry about that. My Anderson family are all in Wisconsin. There are a TON of helpful adoption oriented websites on Cindiâ€™s List to help you two get started. Make sure this is what she really wants. I do know that few hunts for parents end up happy.

My friend Kathy was adopted in 1969 Born 4-16-69 in Chicago IL named Kathryn…Her birth mother was Anderson ( we believe Betty) She was born about 1949 and had 3 younger brothers. Betty’s mother was stated at being in her early 40s, so we are guessing her birth years was in the 1920s
She gave up another child in 1970in Kane Co. born female 9-07-70 named Alice.
Could you help me track the roots.
Thanks!

Current records for living persons within the Catholic Charities are probably sealed and would require a court order to open. Call the Catholic Charities office in Portland, Oregon, to ask them how to proceed. Good luck.
