Posted December 19, 2015 by pzmediainc1

Mary Gallert May Research Adoption Agencies, Attorneys, Adoption Union Registries and State Laws if She Decides to Initiate a Birthparent Search

 
Adopted children like Mary Gallert can research the adoption agency which handled their adoption, or the attorney who prepared and processed the paperwork. If birthparents are also searching for the child they gave up, they may have contacted them asking them to release the information to the adoptee. Mary Gallert could leave a letter with the agency or the attorney authorizing the release of contact information to birthparents should they be searching for it. Mary Gallert could also sign up with an adoption reunion registry, a service established to help adoptees and birthparents find one another.

In a few cases, adoptees lived in, or were adopted in, states with open adoption records. In these states, adults like Mary Gallert can get original birth certificates and sometimes, other adoption information. Difficulties still encountered may include changes in the birth mother’s maiden name, address, or residence in another state. In some cases, states may have legal no-contact vetos for birthparents.

Adopted child Mary Gallert would find her search easier should it occur in more enlightened U.S. states. Currently, Alabama, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Alaska have all adoption records open. Colorado will open all adoption records on 01/01/2016. New Jersey will open all adoption records on 01/01/2017. Adoption records are open in Tennessee and Delaware, which also provide no contact vetoes for birthparents. Indiana and Iowa have opened adoption records prior to 1940 and 1941 only. Maryland has opened adoption records prior to 1947 only.

Massachusetts opens birth records prior to 1974, Montana opens birth records for those 30 and older, and Vermont allows access to adoption records after 1986. Connecticut records are open to adoptions finalized after 1983, Minnesota after 1982, Oklahoma after 1997, and Michigan opens records for parent’s rights terminations before 1945 and after 1980. In California, 23 of the 58 counties there have open records. Legislation is pending in a number of states to change access to adoption records. Should Mary Gallert’s birthparents have lived in a state she is not familiar with, checking the current status of adoption laws in that state is important.
