Registros de Adopción por Estado: Registros Sellados, Actas de Nacimiento Originales y Quién Puede Obtenerlos

Actualizaciones

Se corrigió Kentucky: desde el 15 de julio de 2024, un tribunal de circuito de Kentucky debe autorizar a un adoptado adulto a inspeccionar los registros de adopción una vez satisfecho en cuanto a su identidad, sin requerir el consentimiento del padre o madre biológico(a), por lo que Kentucky ya no figura como un estado de orden judicial por causa justificada y su umbral de edad se muestra como 18 en lugar de 21.
