There are many questions coming in regarding the implementation of #S3419. We have been given limited information from our DOH contacts—as others may have received—that the state and city are both “diligently” working on the application forms but such forms are not yet available or fully developed. We have been advised that there will be a webinar with all applicable agencies sometime during the week of 1/6/20 to help make the process more efficient.
Unfortunately, they’ve not let us know what the actual procedure will be. We are not anticipating much more information to be released to us before January 15th. If we find out more we will be sure to let everyone know.
Hang in there folks.

They had half a year to work on the forms!
Some adopted people don’t know they were adopted (closed adoption, and total secrecy maintained by adoptive parents). After Jan. 15 2020, what document would such a person receive, on applying for a birth certificate?
