In many states, adoption records are only public if they are 'old' or past a certain number of years. If they have not met this criterion, then it is very likely that the adoption records are sealed. To have them opened, one would have to file in court to unseal these records. And of course, the outcome of these cases is not always to allow the opening of such records.
If you just recently found out that you were adopted and now want to search for your birth parents, consider looking at court records that your birth parents may have filed in an effort to reach you. Of course, this is harder said than done and you need to ask your adopted parents a lot of questions but if you really want to find your birth parents, you should not leave any stone unturned.
