MISSOURI: “Bill would open future Missouri adoption records”
02.04.2010 | Adoption / Records Access
By: Sarah D. Wire
Missouri lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow anyone adopted after August 28th, 2010 to have total access to their adoption records upon reaching the age of 18. The bill also proposes to allow biological parents to choose whether they would like to be contacted directly by their adult child or through a third party. Under the proposed bill, persons adopted prior to August 28th, 2010 would only be able to access their medical history, and the state registrar would still be required to contact the birth parent for permission to release the original birth certificate.
