Confidentiality in
Adoption
Confidentiality in adoption
means that those who are separated DO NOT and CANNOT
know each other. In most states there are a minimum of seven
ways people CAN and DO
find and know each other without having an original birth
certificate.,
Everyone has the right to
refuse contact. That is the ONLY degree of confidentiality
that
exits, and it exists whether you do or do not have your original birth
certificate.
Several ways adult adoptees and birth parents can find each other under
the sealed birth certificate system in most states
-
GOOD
CAUSE -
Under the law in most states, all sealed birth certificates may be
accessed with
a
showing
of good cause. The birth certificate accessed could be the
one that locates the one
birth parent or adoptee who does not want to be found.
-
SUPPORT GROUPS
- Support groups have a very good
reputation for helping triad members
access birth information and locate birth relatives. The relative they find
may be the one
birth parent or adoptee that does not
want to be found.
-
BLACK MARKET - For
a price, most people can be found if the information has not
been falsified,.
Those with means can find; those without cannot
-
AGENCY SEARCHES - Finding
one member of the birth family gives possible access to all
members of
the
birth family. Access to any member may lead to the one
birth parent who
does not want to be found
-
INTERNET -
Finding on the internet is rapidly becoming a science. This can
lead to the one
birth parent or adoptee who does not want to be found.
-
IDENTIFYING INFORMATION -
given to adoptive parents or keeping
the adoptee's original
birth name could locate that one birth parent or adoptee who does not want to be found.
-
PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS -
can find the one birth parent or adoptee who does not want to found.
Sealed birth certificates are a symbol of a
confidentiality that does not exist - Not
when people can and
do find each other daily. Unsealed birth certificates
are a symbol of an adoptee's identity and their civil
rights as a citizen.
Please sign the Petition for the release of the Original Birth Certificate while you are here for an
adoptee to have access at age 21
without court order (this petition is for legislation purpose -

Copy of the state court petition for search for the birthmother/parent
We are now
able to provide information from the
Ky Birth, Death, Marriage and Divorce Index
Complete searches are also
available
If you need search assistance, we can provide that - or you can
try and do the
search on your own - once you have the name.
Assistance can be provided to help
you with location of the person and
then you can make the choice if you would like
to make the contact
yourself
or would like for someone else to help you. Fees may
apply.
There has
already been a lot of control by others during the adoption process and we would like for
everyone to have the choice of being in control of their own search and contact
- making
the decisions they personally need for closure.
