Re: adoption
Each state determines the issues of privacy and adoption. I would suggest
that the person trying to find her grandmother's biological parents find
out what the adoption/privacy issues are in Mass. I know in Arizona, early
adoptions take place in the county probate courts and these records are
permanently sealed--the only way you can obtain information is to go
through a mediary or go to court.
