So are you trying to identify his adoptive parents or his biological parents? (Sorry, I'm still not clear what you're trying to learn.)

Keep in mind that, depending upon the time period of the adoption, the adoption may have been informal, with no official records left behind.

I suppose the question that needs to be asked is: What information source do you have that says that he was adopted?

According to the 1930 U.S. Federal Census, John W. Reddick was 29 and born in North Carolina of North Carolina parents.

If we look for a John Reddick in Beaufort County, NC in 1920 (born around 1901), the closest match is 18-year-old John Reddick, son of 50-year-old widow Cindy Reddick, in Pantego.

I can't find John with mother Cindy in 1910, so I wonder if this is because he was adopted by the Reddick family after 1910? If so, Cindy may be the 51-year-old Sidney Reddick, wife of John W. Reddick, living in Pantego. They had two daughters. Perhaps they adopted John W. and named him after the adoptive father?

In any event, these are merely leads and would need to be researched using additional records.
