What other documents would a birth parent's name be on other than the birth certificate and adoption records? I can't think of any, so that's pretty much tantamount to unsealing records without consent. Please give us all the dirt so we can counsel girls in trouble correctly, because if people are being told to expect privacy when that's a lie, people need to know before they go through with putting an unwanted child up for adoption.
