§ 3107.381.
If the file of releases contains one or more releases that pertain to an adopted person
and the department of health has an adoption file for the adopted person, the department
shall transfer all of the releases pertaining to the adopted person, including releases
for which withdrawals of releases were filed, to the adopted person's adoption file. An adopted person or lineal descendant of an adopted person who obtains the contents
of the adopted person's adoption file pursuant to section 3107.38 of the Revised Code may use the releases, along with any contact preference forms placed in the adoption
file pursuant to section 3107.39 of the Revised Code , in determining whether and how to contact a biological parent or biological sibling. Releases are advisory only and therefore unenforceable.
