When I was adopted in Illinois, all adoption records were sealed by the court. I am trying to find out if the actual adoption is included in the public record but not the details.
Since I was a ward of the Illinois DCFS for a time prior to my adoption, the state of Illinois will pull my records and perform a search on my behalf. I just need to find out the county and date that the adoption took place.
The agency that handled the adoption, Catholic Social Services (now Catholic Charities), seems to be unwilling to tell me the date or the county. They are more than willing to ask for the $$$$ to do the search for me even though I can get it for free from the state.
Does anyone know if it is public record? Andy advise will be appreciated.
Thanks
