Kansas
Kansas is an open records state. You need to contact the county clerks office where the adoption was filed. Ask to speak to post adoption services...When you reach them, tell them you are wanting to get a copy of the adoption decree. They will send you the paperwork, and you fill out as much as you can, and send it back.
I was adopted in KS in 1973, and I got a copy of my original adoption decree containing both my birthparents name, and my legal name change. Everything I needed was there.
The total process will take you about 3 weeks or so! You do NOT need your attorney.
Good Luck!
