~ oregon allows access to original birth certificates of adoptees ~

What it does: Allows adoptees 21 and older who were born in Oregon to see their original birth certificates, which the state began sealing in 1957. Certificates usually include the name of the birth mother, and sometimes the birth father. The law allows birth mothers to attach forms to the birth certificates, indicating whether they want contact.
