Allows adoptees 18 or older to access their original birth certificate with biological parent consent.

This bill amends South Carolina law to allow adoptees who have reached the age of eighteen to request a copy of their original birth certificate and accompanying evidence of adoption. The request must be accompanied by a completed contact preference form and medical history form from a biological parent. If a biological parent is deceased, a certification of death is required. The copy of the original birth certificate must clearly indicate it is not a certified copy and may not be used for legal purposes.
