Missouri

Date Sealed:  1941

Access Status: Restricted

  • Tiered access
  •  Adoptees 18 and older can receive OBC subject to corrupt birthparent  “contact preference form” that acts as a Disclosure Veto.
  • Depending on whether one or two parents are listed on the original birth certificate, the OBC is either withheld entirely from the adoptee or identifying information is redacted.
  •  Identifying information on the OBC redacted if a parent requests contact through an intermediary.

Through a special arrangement with the Adoptee Rights Law Center, Bastard Nation is linking our individual state pages to ARLC state access law links and summaries. In addition. our state pages include information specific to Bastard Nation actions and activities in each state and about current OBC access.

Read about current OBC access legislation with links to current and past years bills at our”Keep Informed” legislative pages (middle sidebar.)
