Search and Reunion Services

CONCERN offers Search and Reunion Services to adoptees who are 18 years of age or older and whose adoption was finalized through CONCERN. Birthparents may also request this service if the child they placed for adoption is 21 years of age or older and was adopted through CONCERN.

A reasonable fee has been established for each level of service. Requests for services must be made in writing. CONCERN will acknowledge the receipt of your request within 30 days.

Act 101 Information

In late 2010, former Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell signed into law an amendment to the Adoption Act. The amendment, known as Act 101, became effective on April 25, 2011. Act 101 provides 1) an option for adoptive parents and birth relatives to enter into an enforceable voluntary agreement for ongoing communication or contact; 2) the requirement that the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare create and maintain an adoption medical history registry and social history information registry (The Pennsylvania Adoption Information Registry – PAIR); and 3) a process and response time for requesting the release of information and access to records.
