I have an abusive father who I know longer speak to or have contact with, but he was adopted as a child. His biological parents were around 14-16 years of age when they had him and gave him up for adoption. He was born on September 27th, 1969 and was adopted in Warren or Monroe Michigan (not familiar with up north) I got close enough to know he was actually born in Port Huron.
My father did do somewhat of a background check on them, no names were revealed, but it did reveal what they looked like and that they had Irish and Welsh decent. I was personally born in Germany.
They would be 58-60 today, if they are still alive. I called the county Clerks office in Port Huron and was told I could not request information because I was the direct adoptee, but I would not risk my wellbeing going through my father.
Is there some other way I can reach out to them, and leave it up to them to respond? I only knew my parents and my siblings. I never grew up with grandparents cousins, or uncles, and I'd love to know who my family is, be they bad or good.
Any advice?

Being the child of someone who was adopted makes it almost impossible to access records.
You might try Face Book, I understand that they have a site dedicated to this sort of thing,.
The only person who might be able to look at the records is your father,
If they were between the ages of 14-16, It is very possible she was sent to Michigan to a "school" for pregnant teenage girls and that when your father was born he was taken to his adoptive parents and she never saw him. That is how things were done back then especially within families from small towns and who had money. The South didn't change much when it came to pregnant teens back then.
They were most likely just kids and neither good or bad, just kids that got caught in a difficult situation,

If the bio parent/parents have filled out a form allowing contact and you file a form wanting contact it looks like the state will facilitate the contact information exchange. If bio hasn't filed then your request will wait until they do so in the future, if they do.
Nationality is what passport you have - for many folk the place they have been born, yet there are different information on the thank you to alter right into a countrywide of a given state - case in point on your occasion, the guy may well be a french national (by skill of being born in France), yet in addition eligible for Italian nationality (because this is the nationality of his parents). background, on the different hand, is the place your ancestors come from - as worldwide flow of folk will advance, human beings could have a heritiage very diverse from their nationality - and in many countries, would have ten or greater heritiages (i do), yet in trouble-free terms one or 2 nationality (twin voters are fairly uncommon, tri-voters particularly so - in spite of the fact that I did understand a woman with American, Canadian, and German citizenship - she grew to become into born interior the U.S. to a Canadian and German national).
