NACAC Policy Statements:

Access to Original Birth Certificates

NACAC supports access to original birth certificates to any adult adoptee at age of majority. (December 5, 1986)

Recognizing that many adult adoptees have a need for more complete information about their birth families, NACAC supports their right to this information and supports access to original birth certificates to any adult adoptee at age of majority. (April 11, 1992)

Full Disclosure of Background Information

We believe that foster and adoptive families have a right to full disclosure of background information from agency, court, school, mental health and medical files. Such information is critical to the success of placements. (December 7, 1991)
