Recent state court decisions favor the rule that an adoptee may have access to the name of his or her biological/birth parents and court records and documents pertaining to the adoption. Generally the records would be available to the adoptee only with a court order upon a showing of good cause.
There isn't a right time to tell your child that they are adopted but its best to tell them as early as possible. This is to avoid them learning about their adoption from anyone else, or feeling that their adoption is a bad thing.
In at least nine states Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island (for those 25 and older) and Oregon adult adoptees have unfettered access to those records, according to Nina Williams-Mbengue, who works on the issue at the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Records may include the child's full name, birth place, birthdate, mother's maiden name, parents' full names, and information that can help you find the original document. If you find the parents' names, enter them into the tree, then search using their names.
When the adoption of a child is finalized in the United States, the adoptee's original birth certificate is altered (amended) to list the adoptive parents as if they are the adoptee's biological parents.
All California county adoptions are closed, meaning that the court file which names the birth parents and adoptive parents and the record of the original birth certificate are not released by the court except by court order.Adoption files and records are confidential and not open to the public.
Adoptive records When someone who was born in Wisconsin is adopted, our office impounds, or seals, that person's original birth certificate.The impounded certificate cannot be released to anyone, including the person listed on the certificate, without a court order.
The Adoptees Bill of Rights We have the right to dignity and respect. We have the right to know we are adopted. We have the right to possess our original birth certificate. We have the right to possess all of our adoption records.
