    3. Hi: I am hoping someone out there can help me with a real dilemma I am experiencing. I would like to obtain a copy of my Dad's birth certificate {original and adoptive one}, his Mother's first marriage certificate and second marriage one. But because my Dad was adopted and then I was adopted these records are sealed from me. I have written a letter to the Lincoln County Court and the judge wrote back first stated I needed to make a request to the Bureau of Vital Statistics and if unsuccessful there I would need to make an application to the court. It was also suggested I contact an attorney for assistance with this. I live in Canada and the expense of doing this would be something we could not afford. In the letter from the judge he also stated, "...the Court is prohibited from releasing of adoption information, except as allowed in 43-135 R.R.S. 1943. What is this citation? Can anyone do a look up for me regarding what it exactly says? I keep trying to find someone related to this family who can apply for such information but as of yet have been unable to locate anyone. Any advice, help anything in this matter would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!! Candi
