The agencies are required to compile non-identifying genetic, health and social history of the birth family to make it available to the adoptee along with post-adoption information birth family members may have added to the file. Adoptive parents and adoptees may have this information after the adoptee reaches 18.

Arkansas has a Mutual Consent Voluntary Adoption Registry. Individual birth family members related within the second degree (defined as biological siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents of the adoptee) may register for a possible reunion. There is a one-hour counseling requirement. For information about the registry, contact: Department of Human Services, Division of Children and Family Services, Permanency Planning Unit, P.O. Box 1437, Little Rock, Arkansas 72203-1437.
