I take my birth certificate for granted but I shouldn’t. As an adoptee, I am fortunate to come from Illinois, one of the states that has unsealed original birth certificates for adopted adults.
Many adoptees from states that still keep the records sealed are stuck. Without that piece of paper, adoptees can’t get very far in their search for biological family.
I’ll have more on Monday.
I need a search angel in MA
I was do they have orginal birth certifcate like yours in my state Maryland
Thanks for visiting my blog, Deonte. Not sure when you were born but it looks like Maryland may provide OBCs to certain adult adoptees. Read this article: https://adopteerightslaw.com/maryland-obc/
