In doing family research trying to locate someone who was
adopted in 1960's or 1970's are those records public information?
Is it too recent?

MODERATOR NOTE: The variety of adoption laws has been discussed many
times. A search for "adoption" and related terms should bring some
threads up in the archives at
http://data.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/ALL/index.asp
and the most recent messages may be had by sending an e-mail to
listserv@...
with a message body reading:

or whatever other date range you think is appropriate.

Adoption records are not public. They are private and usually sealed by the
courts. Most US records that recent are not considered public.
