Monifa -

I can't help with NY - I never did any research there, but now that
you have identified the location, maybe someone else can help.

I'm pretty sure NY is a closed adoption state - meaning the records
can only be opened with a court order.

Sometimes you can find birth announcements in newspapers. There are
lists you can join concerning NY, and other lists related to
adoption.

Check out the links at Cyndislist concerning adoption.
