 For NPR News in the Twin Cities, I'm Emily Reese. Adopted people 18 years and older will be able to access their birth records through the Minnesota Department of Health starting today. The newly opened birth records will include the names of birth parents. Attorney Gregory Luce leads the Adoptee Rights Law Center and helped craft the legislation that made the records available. The adopted person applies to the Department of Health. The birth parent can file a contact preference form that is then attached and goes with these records.
