FLORIDA Law/Reform

Florida Adoption records are closed and may be opened only with an order of the court. For filing a waiver you must go through the Florida Office of Vital Statistics. Those who can file are: adult adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, biological siblings, and biological grandparents. Counseling is available to any registrant. For registry information contact: 

Florida Adoption Registry, 
Vital Statistics Registry, 
P. O. Box. 2197, 
Jacksonville, Florida 32232.
 Telephone: 904-488-8000. 

To receive a form for the reunion registry, for non-id info IF your adoption was processed by the state agency or a private attorney write to: 

HRS Children Youth & Family Services, 
Att: Josette Marquess
 Bldg 7 Room 102, 
Tallahassee, Fla 32399-0700

While Florida states that adoption agencies must produce all non identifying information on request, including medical information many agencies do not provide all of the non ID information and are therefore in violation of the law.
