-==Adoption Records==
-Nonidentifying information is available to adoptive parents, a child's legal guardians or an adult adoptee. This can include the physical description, nationality, religious background, and medical history of the birth parents or siblings. Identifying information is available to the adult adoptee.
-An adult adoptee may make a written request for information identifying his or her birth parents. If the birth parents have consented to the release of identifying information, the court shall disclose the information. If the birth parents have not consented, the court shall notify in writing, within 10 days of receipt of the request, the adoptive parents and the child-placing agency or court personnel having access to the information. For adoptions completed prior to 8-13-1986, the adoptive parents must consent to contacting the birth parents unless there is proof that the adoptive parents are deceased or incapacitated.
-The State Registrar&nbsp;files the original certificate of birth with the certificate of decree of adoption and such file may be opened by the State Registrar only upon receipt of a certified copy of an order as decreed by the court of adoption.
