Finding Adoption Records from 1899

[Carolyn Schjerning]

My name is Carolyn and I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
I am seeking adoption records for my grandmother Julie Kaya Sorensen

Julie Kaya was adopted by her maternal Aunt, Karen Marie....I am trying to find out the Aunts' Maiden name, and name of her siblings to trace my geneology and find out who her birth mother may have been.....

This is the information I have.

Julie Kaya, adopted surname was Sorensen, was born in Copenhagen, Oct 24 1899.

I found a 1916 Census that shows her adopted parents were

Carl Frederik Sorensen, DOB Feb 18, 1870
Karen Marie Sorensen, DOB Feb 5, 1872

they may have had an additional daughter but not certain.

Thank you

Carolyn
