Robert, your adoptive parents should have had some information; per State of Washington statute. I do not know if that would include very much medical or genetic history that might be useful to you now.

Family and social history report required * Identity of birth parents confidential.
(1) Every person, firm, society, association, corporation, or state agency receiving, securing a home for, or otherwise caring for a minor child shall transmit to the prospective adopting parent prior to placement and shall make available to all persons with whom a child has been placed by adoption, a family background and child and family social history report, which includes a chronological history of the circumstances surrounding the adoptive placement and any available psychiatric reports, psychological reports, court reports pertaining to dependency or custody, or school reports. Such reports or information shall not reveal the identity of the birth parents of the child but shall contain reasonably available nonidentifying information.

I'm sorry to disagree Larry ... I was adopted. The birth certificate issued
by the State of Washington reflects my adopted name, not my birth name.
Wish I could find out for medical reasons information on my birth mother and
father without having to pay a lawyer or para.... to get the information. I
actually have two birth certificates, one reflects I was born in Everett,
Washington and the other Seattle, Washington. I furnished the first one
reflecting Everett when I joined the service. Didn't know the government
(socialist state of Washington) changed it until I asked for a new one and
was issued one from the state reflecting I was born in Seattle about 20
years later.
