How can I find my birth father?

[Rachel]

I dont know anything, really. I know where he may live or be from. When I was young, I got a letter and shirt in the mail. And it wasnt from my "dad". Im doing this secretively, my mom wont tell me anything. Any suggestions?
No he is not on my brith certificate. I only know his first name and where he may be from. Any help will be much appreciated!!

Do you know his name? Is his name on your birth certificate?

Have you tried looking for him on Facebook? Is he in prison? Some states list the current inmates on the state corrections websites. Public knowledge.
