Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
well this is dealing with legal documents that were lost. and if that agency lost them then that shows there not organized. but it seems that you need an investigation plot. call the agencies and get all the facts. i dont know if you could sue them (you should talk to your foster parents about that) get the agency to give you the name and adress or any information on your real grandma and parents. if the agency doesnt have all the answers demand to speak to the manager. do whatever it takes to GET THOSE PICS BACK! hope u get them back Lovey =)
hope that helped! if u have any more question just ask me whenever on whatever. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I feel for you I do not know how this feels but perhaps I can help maybe a letter saying exactly what you said here to the foster parents would break the ice let them know how it feels like you said with your school projects etc... ask them if they would do you the favor of perhaps making copies on their computer or the locl walmart and just mailing you copies even email them to you. Make sure you let them know your feelings dnt get rude or anything that wont help. my thougts will be with you hope it helps. Good Luck

Is there any way you could contact your foster mom? If you can track down her address, you could write her a letter. Be really, really nice! Tell her that you think about her often and wonder how she's doing, and how much you appreciate all the love and care she gave you as a baby. Then say "I was wondering if you still have any pictures of me when I was a baby?" Explain to her what you said here... how hard it is to be the only one in school that doesn't have a baby picture of yourself. Tell her that you understand if she wants to keep them to remember you by, but would she be willing to make copies for you? I guess this won't help with the photo album (unless your foster mom has it), but at least maybe you can get a few baby pics. Good luck!!!

Ask your parents to contact the adoption agency and see if there is any way the people there can facilitate a way to get a picture to you. Even if they can just contact your foster parent and get a picture scanned or emailed or mailed on a disk that would solve the problem.
You are so justified in wanting a baby pic of yourself. I'm no expert in adoptions at all, but it would seem that the adoption agency has records of your adoption and adoption of your blood siblings. Maybe then can contact their families and see if there are some group pictures that include you at a younger age.
If this doesn't work I would look up sites that try to reunite siblings who were adopted to different families. You can post your agency and the city where you adopted and might get some hits from your siblings.
I'm so sorry your foster mom didn't pass those pictures along. She clearly loves you so much, and hopefully she realizes that she can pass you along so much love if she gives you and your family that piece of your history.
