Oops! Hit the wrong button. Continuing about RCW 26.33.347: d. The current name, address, and telephone number of the adoptee who desires to be contacted. The adopted person who files a certified statement with the department of health declaring one of the above conditions, may subsequently file another certified statement requesting to rescind or amend the prior statement. The statement is filed by the department of health with the adoptee's original birth certificate, if the adoptee was born in Washington, or in a separate refernce file if born outside of Washington state. This gives an adopted person someplace to hang the "I am here" flag in hopes that their biological family may be searching for them. Bob Witherspoon
