1. New York is not an open state so unless you petition the courts for good cause (medical) and win you will not get your original birth certificate. [url=http://laws.adoption.com/statutes/new-york-laws.html]New York Adoption Laws[/url] 2. The state does have a registry (see link above) but their match rate is low from what I have been told. Unless everything matches perfectly it is not a match... in the 60's sometimes things were changed on our records, *birth dates, *hospital,*twins to single birth for mothers some were told we died or were the opposite sex So sign up for the registry because you might have a match. 3. Apply for your non id from the state and if Louise Wise is still in business from there as well. 4. Search and post your search on the registry on this site (reunite tab above). When you search only search month/year and see if anything matches. 5. Sign up with ISRR.net 6. Google Unsealed Inititative New York and get active in supporting the drive to change the laws to open records for adult adoptees... 7. Post a message in the search angel subforum asking for help.
