Adoption
Adoption Record Search
Special conditions and limitations apply to each type of search. A caring professional social worker at Catholic Charities is available to discuss your situation and the options available to you.
Who can search?
Adoptive parent
Non-Identifying
Information:
In Connecticut, since 1977, all adoptive parents have received written,
standardized, non-identifying background and medical information prior
to the finalization of their child’s adoption. Information shared is from
data in the original record. Adoptive families who did not receive such
information can request it prior to their adopted child’s 18th birthday.
After the 18th birthday, a request must be submitted by the adoptee. A
fee of $100.00 is charged for this service. The request must be in the
form of a notarized letter with two photocopied forms of I.D. attached,
one of which must be a photo I.D.
Identifying Information:
Catholic Charities cannot release identifying information to the
adoptive parents regarding their adoptive child’s birthparent(s).
