If you or your parent was adopted, here is what you need to do: FILE a petition in STATE where you were adopted or your parent was adopted.... ICWA gives you that right. (Even if the state has closed adoption records, you still have the right to obtain your records.)
The Indian Child Welfare Act, 25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq., provides in pertinent part:
Upon application by an Indian individual who has reached the age of eighteen and who was the subject of an adoptive placement, the court which entered the final decree shall inform such individual of the tribal affiliation, if any, of the individual's biological parents and provide such other information as may be necessary to protect any rights flowing from the individual's tribal relationship.
