Seeking older biological half brother (common birth mother), born in the State of New York Aug 1972.

I am an adoptee (CA) who received non-identifying information indicating I have an older half brother who'd been born and given for adoption in the state of New York.

Exact birth date unknown, but Aug 1972, 08/00/1972, and birth name of Amory Chase is known. Birth mother Beverly Dawn Chase, born Boston, MA Aug 20 1950, 08/20/1950.

Attempted mutual consent registry with NYS DOH, only to receive a letter from them indicating that in order to register as a bio-sibling, but adopted in another state, I would need to provide NYS DOH with a copy of my original birth certificate, order of adoption, and amended birth certificate. Any NY triad members reading, please be advised that mutual consent registry in NY with siblings across state lines is presently broken. I urge any reading to support legislation opening adoption records.

Hi the mutual consent registry works sometime.. but it is only for those born AND adopted in NY state. If an adoptee was born AND ADOPTED in NY state then they are allowed to register. This is how a lot of birthmoms find out that their child was not adopted in NY state. They try to register and their registration is rejected because they are told that their child was adopted out of ny state.
