How will this legislation help adult adoptees obtain their medical histories?

0

Under the sealed records laws, medical information available to adopted persons is as old as they are because the information was taken before they were born. Birth parents who file a nondisclosure and/or contact preference form will be asked to complete a family history form, which will include updated medical information. When an adult adoptee requests a copy of his original birth certificate, the family history information provided by the birth parent will be sent to the adoptee with the birth certificate.
