Georgia Indian Adoptions 1820's?

Does anyone know where there might be records for Ga. Indian Adoptions from
the 1820's? I have already checked the Ga. Archives and National Archives
without success.

TIA

As others have said, in 1820 legal adoption was darn near unheard of.
Cross-racial legal adoption was even more rare. (That didn't become
socially acceptable or even legal until the 1960s.)

Many AmerInds who were converted by inclination, necessity, or force to
Christianity began using English names instead of their tribal names.

For informal custodial events (i.e., some white family took-in or
fostered or looked after some AmerInd orphans), there's not likely to be
much on paper about it. Almost a given that the orphans were
Christianized before being taken in, but you'd need baptismal registers
to make the connections and a lot of churches popular in Georgia didn't
name names in those.

You might hunt down Elizabeth Shown Mills ... she has some experience in
SE AmerInds as I recall.

The 1820's? You're probably not going to find any state/government
adoption records from that time in Georgia, or most any other of the
Southern States. Adoptions during that time were left up to private
organizations, usually churches or church affiliated agencies. I could be
wrong, but I don't believe that there were any state reporting requirements
that early in the 1800's. You might have better luck consulting a
historical/genealogical group in the area local to where the adoption took
place. Good luck in your hunt!
