Kisco, N.Y., and Joseph Pessolano, second from right, from the borough of Staten Island, as they file their pre adoption birth certificate application, Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2020, in New York. New York became the 10th state that allows adopted adults unrestricted access to their original birth certificate without a court order. The new law effective Wednesday is a striking shift from state restrictions dating back to the 1930s that have long required adoptees in New York to seek a hard-to-get court order to access their original birth certificate.
