The Adoption Searchbook by Mary Jo Rillera, published by Triadoption Publications, 1981. SCF is the central source for all adoption data in Oregon and collects individual case data on public agency adoptions but only has aggregate data on other adoptions. SCF has kept records on all adoptions since May 1920. There are 24 private adoption agencies in Oregon. In Oregon the circuit and county courts both have jurisdiction over adoptions.
Information includes genetic, social and health history.
When SCF determines that a match exists, they will notify the affected persons of the match by a method which is direct and confidential. SCF may recommend appropriate counseling by a SCF social worker prior to the release of identifying information to eligible persons. Contact SCF for further information on how to initiate a search.
