So do you know who the actual adoptee is, because it makes a difference Reccording pertaining to adoption are only open to the adoptee themselves, not just 'interested parties' etc. There is no way of cross referencing an adopted birth cert with an original , although if a birth name s know, one can trawl and find a match if luck is on your side.
