WA State recently passed legislation that will allow adult adoptees access to their original birth certificates. DSHS is required to give copies of the OBC to anyone asking for it July 1, 2014. DSHS is also required to start accepting contact preference forms from parents of origin now. Your Aunt can ask her local DSHS office for the form and leave her current contact information so its in the file in case her son requests his OBC. That way he will know she is open to contact.
Good luck!

Based on the name - the son your aunt placed for adoption has been looking for her since 2003... [url=http://registry.adoption.com/search_results.php?page_number=1]Search Results, Adoption Records, Search. Birth Mother, Father, Son[/url] - scroll down and you will see the posting... Since it is an older posting there is a chance any contact info is out of date, but you know he is looking and should check other registries as well such as ISRR.net. If you still end up stuck you could check with the adoption agency she used too. Please don't wait to see if he realizes he can get his original birth certificate if registry posting is correct because sometimes it takes years to realize the law changed and besides he knows her name (if the registry is a match)...
