Have a personal conversation with your family Dr. regarding any medical concerns that you have and ask the Dr. to write a letter to the Superior Court in the county where your adoption was finalized. Generally the rule is that the court will only consider "genetic" medical conditions as a valid reason for opening a file. However, I have seen the courts grant access for minor medical concerns and turn down access for major medical concerns. A lot depends on the personal opinion of the judge who is reviewing your petition.
