NY Adoption Agency closes - no one is responsible for the adoption files (parents)

[Artful Dodger]

Adoptees have homes; their files can't find one | syracuse.com

Agency goes out of business, no other agency wants to take on their files, state says they don't want them and don't have to take them...

This is wrong - these files should not be destroyed.

sounds like a case of "It's not my job" all the way around. How sad.

If I was an either set of parents I'd be pretty concerned seeing as your SS#, detailed personal info, medical history, everything would be in those files - some out of date but the trail is right there...not to mention details the adoptee may be waiting to get - the non-id and whatever else has been left in the file. Just wrong...
