ADOPTION-CONFID INTERMEDIARY

Amends the Adoption Act. Provides that a confidential intermediary has access to vital records maintained by the Department of Public Health and its designees or another state's comparable public entity (instead of the Department of Public Health and its designees) and all court or adoption agency records which relate to an adoption, a surrendered person, or relatives of the parties involved in the adoption or surrender. Provides that the confidential intermediary may provide an eligible petitioner with information about the agency that had legal custody of or responsibility for the surrendered person. Provides that the confidential intermediary may inform petitioners of the state in which the surrender or the adoption occurred. Provides that if the petitioner is an adult who was adopted or surrendered or the adoptive parent or guardian of an adopted or surrendered person under the age of 21, any non-identifying information learned during the search may be given to the petitioner at any time during the search before the case is closed (instead of before the case is closed).
