Title

  • Previously Confidential Information Releasable

Description

  • Under the amended Illinois Adoption Act (750 ILCS 50), starting November 15, 2011, adults born on or after January 1, 1946 in Illinois who were surrendered or adopted, can request a non-certified copy of their original Illinois birth certificate, which typically includes the birth parents name(s), age(s) and place(s) of birth. To allow birth parents who surrendered their children in Illinois for adoption to convey their wishes regarding the release of their identifying information to their surrendered child or children, the Illinois Department of Public Health is providing a Birth Parent Preference Form that will allow birth parents to request their identifying information remain confidential.
