In re Victor M. I. I.

Victor (plaintiff), an adult adopted as a baby, petitioned to unseal his adoption records so he could obtain a certified copy of his pre-adoption birth certificate and prove his Hungarian lineage through his biological mother, a Hungarian citizen — Victor traveled to and lived part-time in Hungary for work and needed the document to pursue Hungarian citizenship. His adoptive parents were both deceased, and his biological mother had consented to unsealing the records; his biological father was unknown.
