Adoption Archives

If you were adopted or placed a child for adoption through Children's Home Society of Florida, your record should be in our archives. To streamline our services, records from throughout the state come to this office and are permanently archived. Our records date back to the beginning of our organization in 1902.

Florida Statutes Chapter 65C-16.016 and Chapter 63.162 do not allow public access to adoption records. The Adoption Archives Unit at Children's Home Society of Florida preserves records of clients so adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents can get background information and receive services for search and reunion in accordance with the statute.

We invite you to learn more about our search and reunion services.
