Lifetime Adoption Records Request

If you are looking for adoption records and Lifetime Adoption was the adoption professional used in your adoption, you may request copies of certain documents related to your adoption. Additionally, all documents were provided to you at the time of service. However we understand that over time, documents can be misplaced, lost, or simply not saved in a manner that allows for easy access. Therefore, our staff is happy to retrieve the documents for you and send digitally.

If Lifetime Adoption was NOT the adoption professional used in your adoption, we are unable to help you. However, there are registries that may be able to help you:

• 23 & Me
• Ancestry.com
• Birth Parent Finder
• Adoption Database

If you do not know who the adoption professional used in your adoption was, please understand that document search fees will not be refunded once submitted. We will do our best to locate any records but fees paid cover our cost to search in Lifetime Adoption’s record archive.

1. Complete the form below. Please specify which documents you are requesting. (Examples include invoice, contract, medical records, etc.)

3. Arrange for payment of record search fee of $25 + tax. (You will be prompted to pay after the form is submitted, records will not be emailed to you until this fee is paid.)

Request Form

Lifetime Adoption was established in 1986 and would not have participated in any adoptions prior to that year. We only have access to records in which Lifetime Adoption was involved. If you do not know what adoption professional was used, we suggest you begin with records requests in the county of adoptee’s birth.
