There are various agencies who will help in your search, but most involve a cost. This site will give you lots of information and advice:

When you have more details, come back to your thread if you need help in searching records. It can be a slow process but there are many people on here who would try to help.

The first place to start is to apply for your original birth certificate and adoption file - this is a free service - the above link will take you to the relevant area.

Good luck!
