Emergency Situations: In emergency medical situations, the Office of Adoptions or the agency may release requested medical information to parties of interest in the adoption, without having to go to court first to obtain permission to access its own records for the information.
Submitting Medical Information:
Anyone having documented medical information relevant to an adoptee may submit that information to the Office of Adoptions or child-placing agency. Upon receipt, the Office of Adoptions or the agency "shall use reasonable efforts" to "contact" the adoptive parents of the adoptee, or the adoptee if he or she is 18 years of age or older and provide such documented medical information to the adoptive parents or the adoptee. There will be a reimbursement of the "reasonable costs" associated with this, paid by the submitting party, but those costs have been defined as only the postage and photocopying incurred in the delivery of the documents and not for the attempt to contact.
