Adoption Search Resources - Adoption-Related Records by State
Here you will find links to information for finding adoption related records. Most links are to state government websites with official information about what is available for the adoptee (or others) for that state. In some states, such as Oregon, adult adoptees can order their pre-adoption birth records. Most states have closed adoption records, but you might find that they have an official adoption registry or a confidential intermediary service. See below for disclaimers.

Some major vital records indexes (birth, marriage & death) are included here for adoptees who may have a name or other indentifying information for a birth parent. You may also find this website's People Searching page to be helpful.
