This form is used in Colorado when a biological sibling or half-sibling of an adopted person seeks access to sealed adoption records.

They must also include identifying information about their sibling, such as the sibling’s birth date, the date and location of relinquishment, and the names of the birth parents, including any aliases used at the time of adoption. Additional details such as the name of the hospital, agency, or home involved in the adoption may also be required if known. The petitioner is asked to explain what they know about the adoptee and their adoptive family and to state their reasons for seeking contact. By signing this affidavit, the petitioner swears under penalty of perjury that the information is truthful and that the request is being made in good faith. www.FormsWorkflow.com
