New York has a mutual consent registry available to adult adoptees (age 21), adoptive parents and birth parents.
For adoptions occurring prior to January 1, 1984, identifying information will only be released if the adult adoptee, the adoptive parents and each birth parent who consented to the adoption have registered. The need for consent of adoptive parents is waived if they are deceased.
For adoptions occurring after January 1, 1984, no consent of adoptive parents is required.
For registry information, contact: New York State Health Department, Adoption Information Registry, Corning Tower, Room 208, Empire State Plaza, Albany, New York 12237. Telephone: (518) 474-2800.
