I was legally adopted by a relative whom had been taking care of me (she had guardianship) while I was in high school. I was adopted after I turned 18 while I was in college. I remember signing the papers but I don't have a copy. This relative died several years ago. Is there any way to obtain a copy of the adoption papers? Or to prove that i was legally adopted? I went to the county courthouse (Houston County) where we lived at the time, but I was told that all adoption records are sealed.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
