Illinois Adoption Registry

The Illinois Adoption Registry is a state-run service that helps individuals connect with birth relatives, including biological parents and siblings, if both parties agree to register. It maintains a confidential database where adopted persons or birth parents can submit contact information to potentially reunite later. The registry respects privacy laws and requires consent from birth parents before sharing their details. It serves as a resource for those seeking to establish or re-establish contact, promoting transparency and healing while balancing privacy considerations.
