Adoption law is state law, and this includes laws covering the release of identifying and non-identifying information, and access to original birth certificates.

Alabama, Alaska, Kansas, New Hampshire, and Oregon are "open records states," meaning that adult adoptees can receive copies of original documentation about their adoptions just by completing an application process. Other states also provide for the release of original information with some restrictions.

As you begin your search, the first task - after determining your reasons for searching and preparing yourself for whatever you might find - should be to check these laws.
