How much would it cost to get a lawyer to obtain medical records from biological parents?

I was adopted at two days old and am currently in my 20s. It was a closed adoption so I have no idea (or any will to know) who my biological parents are. However, I have some health concerns for which it would be helpful to have a full health record of my biological parents. Since it was a closed adoption, I am assuming I will need a lawyer to go to a judge for access to the adoption records. However, money is tight at the monent so I would like to get a rough idea of how much this will cost to hire a lawyer for. Any information is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Depends on who you employ, and how reliable they are

    I’m not an expert in communication. Did you think about calling one on the phone rather than checking here where no one could possibly know.

    No it won't.

    Sorry but that is an old dodge that your type has been trying for ever.

    It is a closed adoption and you have no right to the information you seek just beside your life did not work out as you dreamed.

    Get a DNA screen and that will solve any of your "health" concerns.
