‘A Connection to Who You Are’: Georgia Lifts Decades-old Restrictions on Adoptee Birth Certificates
Georgia is now allowing adoptees over the age of 18 who were born in the state to secure copies of their original birth certificates.
A bill taking effect July 1 will allow adopted Georgians to learn more about their origins, including where they were born and the names of their biological parents.
With the law’s passage, Georgia has become part of a growing movement to grant adoptees access to their original birth records. Since 2019, 16 states have loosened prior restrictions, including New York, Minnesota, Connecticut, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Vermont and South Dakota.
