I have to go with yes on this. I know a couple of adopted people who can’t get ahold of theirs, and it’s a problem for them because they desperately need to research their medical history. There’s got to be an exception for that. Too much genetic illness to worry about.
adopted shortly after 1950 birth.
i have ALL the paperwork (BS’s, name change, yadda, yadda), including birth mothers’ name (and no mention of father on the document).
to my close friends I admit I am a certified bastard.
never had the LEAST desire to meet the original woman.
people who go chasing that rabbit are fools; the genetic information is likely not going to keep you from dieing sooner or later.
maybe they think it will.
The agency that the adoption went through can usually assist with medical inquiries.
