This is a summary of information from a sealed adoption file potentially including birth family medical history, information about the adopted person’s birth, early childhood development data, reasons for the plan of adoption, and any information about the adopted person’s time in foster care, when applicable. It could also include a social history of the birth parent(s) – birth family composition, physical descriptions of birth family members, their characteristics and occupations, etc. Please note that this is not the same as opening a sealed adoption file; this will NOT provide any identifying information about who the birth family members are.
