A member of my family has a severe medical problem. How do I get/share family medical information?
If you were adopted, are the descendent of an adopted person, or are a birth relative of an adopted person and you have a severe mental or physical illness, you may be eligible for a severe medical search. You can also apply if you are an adoptive parent and your adopted child is under 18. A severe medical search is conducted when it is likely to significantly increase the likelihood of diagnosing or treating a severe mental or physical illness. We will try to locate and contact an adopted adult or a birth family member to get any information that will help. An example would be if an adopted person needs information from a birth relative to help with an organ transplant. Please note that medical information would be provided by the person contacted on a voluntary basis.
