Birthparents and/or adoptees may file a Consent to Release of Information Form with the placing agency at any time.

He was adopted as a baby in Genesee County, Michigan. We know his exact birth date and birth name (Surname as well as given) and that he was the 10th child in the family. Also have Flint, Michigan Probate Court case number, and date of the actual adoption. We are looking for his parents given names. Is it possible armed with all of the above information to obtain those names? Are the records still sealed after all this time, given the fact that we have all of the other information regarding this adoption? This information is not being solicited for any contact to be made with natural family, even if there is any left. The purpose is to complete a proper family tree for his children and grandchildren. We do have other information regarding his birth, etc. that I have not listed here for a number of reasons, but the only thing really missing is the parents names as mentioned above. > Can someone guide me in helping to retrieve this info. > > Thanking all in advance, > > Tony > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
