I petitioned the court and was granted my original birth certificate and adoption papers. The state adoption record search program helped me to do this. I think that because my bmom was deceased at the time, it was easier to get my records.
I petitioned a different court to get my bmom's original birth certificate. She had also been adopted and I had searched and found her birth family. So it was a not a secret anymore. But the judge in this case wasn't sympathetic and said I would have to have a "hearing" with birth relatives present and they would have to be interviewed etc. Talk about a big mess over nothing! But I opted to not go through all of that at this time.
