Hi, If you are a sibling or Birth parent or adoptee searching, please sign up with the ny state Registry.
Please use this link to join the State registry (Free)
http://www.health.ny.gov/vital_records/adoption.htm

Include a copy of your birth cert.
Siblings fill it out, with as much as you know.

Also if you are searching and the other party comes along, its smart to have them use the Registry to confirm the match.

Sincerely,
Joan of www.nyadoptees.com
