    Hope Cottage solicited me to buy their internal “search.” They then told me that my birth mother had refused to talk to them, apparently from pressure from a male she was living with.

    The “non-identifying” information they gave me almost 40 years ago is false, according to genetic analysis. Is there anything I can do about their fraud?

    Hello,
    I am an adoptive parent, our adoption is not yet finalized and I am trying to obtain her OBC for her own records, for her birth family, and so that we can proceed with baptising her (for some reason our church is not accepting our ‘cetificst of posssssion’). Our daughter was born in Texas and we reside in Texas. We are in an open adoption, however our Texas adoption agency is telling us that her OBC is ‘sealed with the state’ and cannot be accessed. Is this true? Is there a way that I can obtain this for her?
    Thank you for your time.

    If a Texas adoptee knows the identity of ONE of the birth parents, are they able to obtain their original birth certificate? Or do they have to know both parents identities?
