My adoption took place in Georgia. I see that you need a court order to get your orignial birth certificate. Has anyone petitioned the courts for their original birth records/certificate and succeeded? I know some items were changed from my original birth certificate to my adopted one and I want to know the REAL information. Any help is appreciated!

Have you tried the Georgia Adoption Reunion Registry [url=http://www.ga-adoptionreunion.com/servicesAdoptedPersons_C.shtm]Georgia Adoption Reunion Registry[/url]. They can't give you your original b.c., but they can do a search for your birthparents. It costs $300.00, and they can't guarantee your birthparents will want contact, but they can let them know you are looking for them. Hope this helps,

I have registered with the registry to receive non-identifying information, which wasn't much might I add. I don't necessarily want contact and I especially do not want to spend $300 for someone to tell me there can be no contact, if that happens to be the case. I was just wondering if there was any way to get information that was on my orginal birth certificate. I don't really need birthparent names or contact.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about that. I asked about it once and was told that before they would unseal the records they needed to do the confidential intermediary search. I know it is wrong and that you should have access to your own b.c., but that is how I understand GA adoption law. I studied it a lot when I was searching for my son -- though I am far from an expert. As a matter of fact, if you want someone who can really answer your questions you have to hire a lawyer which really sucks. I wish I could help you more. Good luck, Deb
