I would like to get a court order to get my original birth certificate from Tennessee. I have had no luck getting any useful information after 5 years. I was born in Memphis on June 10, 1962 so my original birth certificate is there. I need a good attorney who can help me petition the courts. Can anyone help?

Not sure of the particulars, but it looks like Tn. has open records for adults. May try to contact the court directly to see what needs to be done.

**Tennessee: Legislation passed in 1996 that would open all adoption records to adult with a disclosure veto provision for adoptees who were the product of rape or incest. Also containes a contact veto. The legislation was under a court stay pending the outcome of a lawsuit brought by the American Center for Law and Justice. This case was decided by the Tennessee Supreme Court in favor of the defendant in 1999, and records are now open in Tennessee, subject to the disclosure and contact veto provisions above.
