No, it should not be that hard.
But unfortunately most adoption laws in this country have not been updated to allow the adult adoptee to access their original identity. Until each state laws restores the adult adoptee accesses to their original birth certificates, searching will a challenge. A waiver in the file won't do anything in Texas, the OBC is sealed by law. You can walk hand and hand to the offices of vital records and they still will not allow the adoptee their OBC. Texas is sealed, much like the other 40 some odd states.
The state registries are underfunded and understaffed, hence they have very unsatisfactory results. The BEST Active registry (meaning they actual look and try to make a match) is the International Soundex Reunion Registry (ISRR).
The best thing TO do.. we need to let state lawmakers know that changing the current laws to allow access is important and needs to happen. Pressure and education needs to be communicated to state legislators.
Consider supporting the Adoptee Rights Coalition that fights on a national level for restored access. Join the planned Aug 2013 demonstration in Atlanta. Adoptees have a right to know their truth!
