Hi
I get questions like this but for Pennsylvania
There several places which willlook up this information
and you are correct in most instances the
state has to agree to release the information. I believe
Oregon recently allowed this

I have had Hillsborough county now for year and have noticed how
different it is from Hernando or the two counties in GA, Columibia and
Screven. The research request are usually from post 1900 and post
1940. The list or I gets at least 2 queries a month from adoptees
wanting to find birth parents. What really amazes me is that I don't
get these questions from the other counties.
Living out in Idaho, there is not much I can do to either find their
parents for them, which some have asked, or to give the seekers
answers about where to look. Do the other counties have this type of
traffic? Does the state have a web site for this type of questions?
I know that I am totally ignorant on this type of hunt. I thought
privacy laws in most states required a court hearing and order before
a person may see their adoption records.
Frustrated in Idaho.

Deborah,
Today's Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties are almost completely filled
with transient populations with little concern about history, heritage and
genealogy. I receive many of the same types of postings and usually refer
them to the various state agencies. My other computer is down this morning
but as soon as I get it runnung, I will send you the web sites for these
agencies. I share in your frustration. My situation is compounded by folks
that are looking for Winter visitors from out of state that just happened
to be here when they died. There is little or no genealogical interest with
these types of queries as well.
Talk to you soon,
Ron
