How can a person find out if the "birth county" has been changed on the amended birth certificate?
The Birth County is ALWAYS changed on the amended birth certificate, to reflect the county the adoptive parents were living in when the adoption occured.
Also, is it very difficult to get NC to unseal records if the courts are petitioned? I have some very good places to start looking, but I am afraid I'll be looking in the WRONG places by virtue of the county "bait and switch" offered by the state on the amended certificate.
Some folks within Guilford County have had success with petitioning the courts to give them access to their information. Within the rest of the counties, it is difficult to say the least.
How can it NOT be an infringement of adoptee's rights to prevent them from viewing public records? Does NC have any legislation pending or current that addresses this issue.
The NC Coalition for Adoption Reform is currently working on legislation to gain access to information for any adult adoptee or for the adoptive parent of any minor adoptee. If you wish more information, please check out the website at: http://adoptionreform-nc.org.
