Hello Kim,
I found out years ago...that anyone adopted out before these years...WAS adopted in the
county of thier birth. Anyone adopted after these years...could have been adopted out to
ANY county in the state they lived. This might be of some help in finding your cousins.
Look to the county of birth (in this case Tipton Co., IN.) and look at each town to see
who adopted children...newspaper articals are a great source for this, but they take a
while to search.
The Tipton Co., IN., Welfare system is NOT going to be of any help. They will not tell
you a thing...it is thier job to keep thier mouths shut.
Good luck in your searchings,
Marcie in IN..
