As of 1-1-97 New law allows
anyone over the age of 21 to contact the agency that handled the adoption to
act as an intermediary in finding birthparents. Birthparents may also do
this looking for Adoptees as long as the adoptee is over 21. Be sure to ask
about this when you contact the state.
The law says that identifying information must be
shared with an adult adoptee (age 21) if the birth parent has signed a
waiver release form. Information will not be released unless such a form is
in the file with the agency and then the agency must attempt to contact the
birth parent to see what their current wishes are regarding contact. Non-id
information is available to adult adoptees and adoptive parents.
