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. This means that there are restrictions on who can request information relating to an adoption and the type of information that can be released.
The adoption decree, sometimes called adoption certificate, is the document issued by the court upon finalization of an adoption, stating that the adoptee is the legal child of the adoptive parents.
In a Virginia adoption, the birth parents must consent to the adoption, with certain exceptions. The Department of Social Services must consent to agency adoptions, and the private child-placing agency must consent to non-agency adoptions. If the adoptee is fourteen years or older, they must also agree to be adopted.
In order to adopt a child, you must be at least 18 years of age or older to be approved as an adoptive parent. Adoptive parents can be single, married, divorced or widowed but what is most important is that they have the time and energy to give a child a lifetime commitment.

A birth mother or biological parents who have given their child up for adoption cannot get the child back once the adoption has been legally finalized. That is because parental rights have been completely terminated from the biological parents and transferred to the adoptive parents. Answer.

The Department of Health Vital Records maintains original birth certificates. Accessing your original birth certificate will require a court order or the Commissioner of VDSS approval.
Unfortunately, many adoption records are usually private documents, most of which are not available to the public and in most cases are not digital records, so it is very uncommon to be able to access them with the click of a button.
Open adoption in Virginia is very common today, because of the benefits it offers to birth mothers, adoptive parents, and most of all, to children. Many birth mothers today are open about expressing how much open adoption means to them.
