"You or someone close to you was an adopted child and now you have reached a point in your life where you want to find out who your parents were and you want to consider finding out as much about the adoption process as possible. Hello, I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer the question, how to get unsealed adoption records? Well, first of all this is a very specialized and complex area of the law and we would recommend that you consider hiring a specialist who works in this area of the law on a regular basis. Even family law lawyers that don't do adoptions on a regular basis are not that familiar and that skilled in this area of the law. So you want someone who does adoptions. You must consider that the laws on adoptions and the sealing and the unsealing of records are going to vary from state to state. But, if you decide to do it yourself, you may consider starting with your birth certificate and contacting the individuals that are listed as parents on your birth certificate. Failing that, you may want to contact the adoption agency that was involved in your particular adoption. But again, we go back to urging you to strongly consider hiring an expert that specializes in this area of the law to assist you. I'm Robert Todd and thank you for watching."
