What do you get when a disclosure veto has been filed?

In the case of a disclosure veto, i f one or more birth parent or adopted adult child has filed a disclosure veto then the release of identifying information relating to the birth parent or child that filed is withheld. When a disclosure veto has been filed, the only information to be released is a copy of the disclosure veto which can include any statement that was filed by the parent or adopted child. This may include birth parents medical history ( see previous post on medical info), or family history as well as reasons for not wanting the identifying information released.


In the case where two birth parents are listed in the birth records, if only one files a disclosure veto there is the possibility that the adopted child may be able to learn about the identity of the "vetoed " parent via the identified birth parent. Of course, the $50,000 fine for contact would likely apply to this situation if an attempt to contact were made. D.
