For a report on non -identifying information write to: The Adoption Option

They will send you a form "Formal Request For Non-Identifying Information" for you to fill out. The fee is $100.00 They retype all information so you won't 'accidentally' receive any identifying information. It takes a little over a month to get the requested information.

The Colorado Voluntary Adoption Registry

The address is 
Colorado Department of Health,
4300 Cherry Creek Dr. South,
Denver CO 80222-1530 
303-692-2188. 
This registry is set up so that no one will be notified that another is registered unless all parties to the adoption have consented to the release of that information. So if the Birth Dad was mentioned in the file he too must agree to contact before a match will be made. This is why the private on line Colorado Registry was started.
