I have been adopted twice. I know my original birth name and would like a copy of the original birth certificate. The Texas office of Vital Statistics says they will not let me have it even though they know it exist. Does anybody know how I can get a copy of it legally, without having to change my name back to it? (link)

There are 2 types of adoption. An open adoption on that allows the adoptee access to priviligde information about the biological parents, and a closed adoption, one that dosent allow the adoptee information about the biological parents. Sounds as if yours may have been the latter.
If you have anything in your original name start there. Also check your state laws about such information. You can also find web sites, where people are looking for friends and family and post there. Put as much information as you know about yourself, place of birth, city of birth, parents names. etc.
Good Luck

thank you very much. I know my original parents first and last name. I am trying to get the vital statistics office in Texas to let me have the original birth certificate but they seem to have a problem with that. I am happy with the family I have now and I am 36 (3-17-68). I just would like to have my original birth document.
