What information is inside seal adoption records?
sealed adoption records contain any information pertaining to the natural parents…such as names, family histories, birth location and certificate, etc. sealed records are done to insure the confidentiality of the natural parent/s. However, in most states, adoptees have had some success in petitioning the court for their birth certificates/records. You must show a valid reasoning–such as a genetic medical issue in most cases. Your original birth certificate is on file at the Vital Records department. Sometimes–especially in older records–they are stored at the headquarter office of your state. Your bc was probably amended after adoption….and they will only give the amended one without a court order.
