It would be cheaper to just go to the county and get a copy of it for yourself. Since you were born after 1977, it would be easier for you to get a copy yourself. This is how to obtain an original birth certificate in Minnesota:
Obtaining an Original Birth Certificate:
An adopted adult can request a copy of the original birth certificate. At this time the Commissioner of Human Services will attempt to locate the birth parents to obtain consent to release the original birth certificate. If each birth parent is located and consents are given, the original birth certificate will be released. If there is no reply or contact with the birth parents, for adopted adults adopted before August 1, 1977, the adopted adult must petition the court for release of the original birth certificate. If the adoption was finalized on or after August 1, 1977, then the original birth certificate will be released to the adopted adult if the birth parents have not filed an access veto.
The obc that you have - is it that one that has the black marker on it? Or is it a copy of the bc and black marker?
The reason I ask is if that sheet of paper has the marker on it, there is a possibliity you can get the names. (I did this once). Scan in the obc using a high resolution, then play with it in a photo program. There is a chance you read the name underneath.
