Q: How long does an adoption take?

Q: Can I get a copy of my own adoption papers?

  • A: The adoptive parents or child may request a Certificate of Adoption which states the date and place of adoption, the child's birth date, the names of the adoptive parents and the name the child has taken. A release of information requires an order from the court. Forms are available in the clerk’s office to request additional information.
