Florida

  

Adoption records are closed in the State of Florida, and may be opened only upon order of the court.

The Florida Office of Vital Statistics permits adult adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, biological siblings, and biological grandparents to register information identifying those individuals with whom such information can be shared.

Counseling on a fee for service basis is available to any registrant. For registry information contact: Florida Adoption Registry, Vital Statistics Registry, P. O. Box. 2197, Jacksonville, Florida 32232. Telephone: (904) 488-8000. 
Chapter 82-166 (1983). 

UPDATE: Send to the address below for a form for the reunion registry, for non-id info IF your adoption was processed by the state agency or a private attorney.
