Parents who relinquished a child for adoption can sign up with the state registry. 

They can print off the forms, or call and request the appropriate form. 

Here is one form they can fill out, giving permission to have their identifying information 
to the adoptee when they come along to the State Registry.

It needs to be notarized. So if you want privacy when having it notarized go to a bankthat is not the branch you usually use. The notary simply watches you sign, and verify its your signature.
