Closed Adoption
I am an adoptee from a closed adoption. A closed adoption is when the adoption records are sealed. This typically means that the records are not open to any party.
You might want to check with Ohio to find out what their laws are about closed adoptions. States will have different laws concerning the adoption records. A couple of states have open laws, where an adoptee can actually go and get their original birth certificate. Some states have a CI system which is a 3rd party that will look for the birth family for you. This is usally for a fee.
You may want to go and visit the Ohio State threads on the forums. They may have some ideas.
I hope that helps.
