Alaska is an "open state."
That means, when a person turns 18 they can write to the Dept of Vital Statistics for their original birth certificate that should have their birth name, birthmother's name, and maybe even the birthfather's name on it.

Alaska Law

The law permits adoptees who are age 18 or older access to their original birth certificates upon request. They can also receive any change of address or name that is in the file. Birth parents may receive the identifying information on their child when an adoptee is age 18 or older, if there is a request on file for such disclosure by an adoptee.

Adoptive parents and adult adoptees may receive non-identifying information including the following: heritage- ethnic background- tribal membership, medical information, age of the parent at the time of relinquishment, educational background, religion, a physical description, existence of siblings, whether birth parent was alive at the time of adoption, and any information that may have been provided by the birth parent for the adoptee, such as letters, photographs, and a statement concerning the reasons for the adoption. Alaska Statutes 13.11.045.
