Is there any recourse for me as an adult adoptee to gain identifying information if the birth parent has not filed a statement and my adoption occurred between the May 28, 1945 and September 12, 1980 time period?

Answer:

The adoption law created the confidential intermediary program as a means for search. It is important for individuals who are interested in pursuing this program to contact the court directly to learn more about how their program works. The court would be the court holding the record of adoption.
