The Virginia Department of Social Services maintains a permanent record of all adoptions finalized in Virginia since July 1, 1942. Virginia is a closed or sealed adoption state. At the time of finalization, adoption files are sealed by a court order and are not public record.
You can either file a petition to unseal adoption record or fill out a form with the probate or county court clerk requesting that the file be examined. If your file contains a notice that your birth parent is looking for you, the records will be unsealed.
Finding Adoption Records Check out the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county the adoption took place for early adoption records. A Wiki page for the county will give contact information. Ask for searches of probate records and guardianship records.
Reopening a closed adoption case typically requires filing a motion with the court that handled the original case. Grounds may include new evidence or procedural errors, such as improper notice to a parent. The court reviews whether reopening serves the childs best interests.
Step-parent adoption in Virginia is a relatively straightforward process if the birth parent whose rights are going to be terminated is (1) deceased, or (2) is the birth father and his identity is completely unknown or (3) known and willing to consent to the adoption.

Unless you take the steps needed to unseal adoption records, theyll be sealed indefinitely to protect all parties involved. Nearly all states have laws in place that permit the release of identifying information, so its best to speak with an adoption attorney to learn more about the nuances in your state.
