All I know is letter said they didn't do that anymore and was sorry for my confusion.

I totally would do it just to be safe. Did the agency replace the other agency. You may have to do it through the state, but i am really unsure about what happens when an agency shuts down and re-opens under a new name. ( why would they do that? i can only think of unethical reasons )

That is californias consent to release, it will hopefully look something like that. Have you contacted the state? It is my understanding ( and I could be totally wrong so maybe an agency worker can validate this or not ) that when an agency shuts down their vital records must go to the state for keeping. Or maybe its that the vital information goes to the state automatically upon finalization of the adoption? Either way I'm feeling that the state should have it.

Are they helping you out w/ understanding where the information has gone? or are they just saying NO, sorry can't help you now?

BTW: i'm so sorry that your open adoption wasn't honored.

If the former agency changed names/licenses, you might have to. It should be a simple matter, I'd think, just a form authorizing them to do what they'd been doing under their previous name/license.

Doctors offices have to do that all the time, if the doctor starts working with a different group or goes from a partnership to an individual practice. Same principle, I think.
