i am looking for 2 of my brothers who were adopted out back in the 1980's and i need to find out how to go about getting their sealed records! the adoption took place in oklahoma! does anyone know what the requirments are to getting ahold of those kinds of records? or even the name of the adoption agency? your help would be greatly appreciated!:confused:
Hope the following may help you.
Confidentiality
All adoption hearings shall be confidential and held in closed court. All records are withheld from inspection except upon a court order. The Department of Human Services, any certified adoption agency, or any licensed child-placing agency may release the child's, biological parents', and grandparents' medical information to the adoptive parents or the child if over 18. No person in charge of adoption records can disclose the names of the biological parents unless
ordered by the court.
