Adoption Records

Wisconsin’s Adoption Records Search Program works with adoptees, adults whose birth parents’ rights were terminated, and birth parents to gain access to vital pieces of adoptees’ social and medical histories.

In the State of Wisconsin, adoption records must be obtained through the Adoption Records Search Program.
