>>A Change to Illinois Adoption Law<<

Adopted persons are now allowed access to their original birth certificates.

A new law allows adopted adults born in Illinois to request non-certified copies of their Original Birth Certificate (OBC), listing the names of their birth parents. Adopted persons born before 1/1/1946 may currently request their OBC. Adopted persons born after 1/1/1946 may request their OBC beginning 11/15/2011. Requests for an Original Birth Certificate may be made by filing a form with the IL Adoption Registry and Medical Information Exchange (IARMIE).

Birth parents of adopted persons born after 1/1/1946 may request that their names be removed from copies of the OBC during their lifetime by filing a form with the IL Adoption Registry and Medical Information Exchange (IARMIE). All birth parents may share background information or indicate a desire for contact though the IARMIE.
