Information about birth parents can be obtained from the Indiana Department of Health, mostly about medical history.
Indiana initiated an Adoption History Program in 1988 (IC 31-19-18) to allow for the release of medical, non-identifying, and identifying information. Identifying information can be released only when both the adult adoptee and the birth parent register with the Indiana Adoption History Program. More information regarding adoption information and availability, you may check here. To register, please call 317.233.7279 or e-mail Darci Haight, Adoptions Clerk at DHaight@isdh.in.gov
