§ 3107.67.
(A) For the purpose of division (C) of section 3107.66 of the Revised Code , an agency or attorney that arranged an adoption shall provide the probate court
that finalized the adoption with the agency's or attorney's records of the adoption
when the agency or attorney permanently ceases to arrange adoptions. If an agency permanently ceases to arrange adoptions because the person operating
the agency has died or become incapacitated or the attorney ceases to arrange adoptions
because the attorney has died or become incapacitated, the person responsible for
disposing of the agency's or attorney's records shall provide the court with the adoption
records. If no one is responsible for disposing of the records, the person responsible for
administering the estate or managing the resources of the attorney or the person who
operated the agency shall provide the court with the adoption records. If the attorney who permanently ceases to arrange adoptions is in practice with another
attorney, the attorney may provide the adoption records to the other attorney rather
than the court if the other attorney agrees to act in the place of the first attorney
for the purpose of section 3107.66 of the Revised Code . The person responsible for the practice of the first attorney shall provide the
adoption records to the probate court that finalized the adoption when the practice
no longer includes an attorney who agrees to act in the first attorney's place for
the purpose of section 3107.66 of the Revised Code . (B) A probate court that receives adoption records under division (A) of this section
may transfer the records to a person or governmental entity that voluntarily accepts
the records. If the court finds a person or governmental entity that accepts the adoption records,
the court shall maintain a directory for the purpose of informing a person seeking
the records where the records are held.
