How to Request Pre-Adoption Original Birth Certificates in New York
On November 14, 2019, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation (S3419/A5494) which allows adoptees to receive a copy of their pre-adoption, original birth certificate when they turn 18 years old. The application process begins on January 15, 2020. Find out how to apply for your OBC now.
Waiting Children who Need Homes
While the number of children in foster care in New York State has decreased from 53,902 children in 1995 to 15,820 as of December 31, 2018, there are still hundreds of children who are legally freed for adoption and need a family to provide for them a loving permanent home.
