The following adoptions were recorded in the warranty deed book at Jefferson
County, Missouri. Early adoptions were recorded in the general form of a
deed in warranty deed books. I assume this was a common practice in all
counties so if you are looking for adoptions try them. Please pass these
along to any web sites.
