The New York State Department of Health has an Adoption Information Registry. The Registry doesnt release adoption records, but it can provide general information about birth parents and the name of the agency that arranged the adoption.
Adoption records are sealed at the time of the adoption and are not public. You need a court order to open them. To get a court order, contact the Adoptions Clerk at the Surrogate Court or Family Court in the borough where you think the adoption took place.
A certified copy of the childs original birth certificate; A certified copy of the signed Adoption Order/Decree; A copy of the signed Adoption Agreement (California only). For states other than California, the Adoption Order/Decree will suffice if it lists the name of the minor before and after the adoption.
Every adopted child receives a birth certificate when theyre born. Then, after the baby gets adopted, the birth certificate is amended. In place of the birth parents names, the adoptive parents names are listed. The new birth certificate will also include the childs new name, if it has changed.
