The other thread just reminded me of something I've been wanting to ask all of you:

Has anyone ever drafted a request for an adoption file that was SUCCESSFUL?
Or do you know anyone who did?

If so, could you let us know exactly what were the magic words?

I know they need the information (names/dates) in order to find the file. But what else?
Citing FOIA would likely get us laughed at, I suppose?

If anyone got turned down when they asked for their a-file, I'd like to hear about that, also.

Good ideas and valid advice welcome!
