Will adoption records contain any information about my birth father?

Julia Feast (Search and Reunion Consultant) gives expert video advice on: Have adoptive people always been able to access data about their origins?; Will adoptive parents have any information about birth parents?; At what age can I obtain my birth records? and more...

If the birth mother had given the birth father's name to the adoption agency, then that will be recorded on the agency's record. And this information can be given over to the adopted person. Sometimes, although the adoption agency may hold information about the birth father's name, this does not necessarily mean that that birth father has been interviewed and even knows about the birth or the pregnancy. So information about the birth father is always given out in context of how this information was passed over to the agency.
