Do I need to open a closed adoption record if all I need is my birthparents medical history?

Livin Life...What land of delusion do you live in?? It is NOT possible to be tested for every genetic illness out there! I inherited both cervical cancer and cardio myopathy from my first mum.....what you are stating to people is just flat out wrong, and dangerous! FFS if you cant answer questions knowledgably SHUT UP, before you do damage!!

@OP: If you know your first parents names then you need to start searching for them, all you actually need to search is those names you dont need to open the birth records. Even if you dont want to meet with them you can start a dialogue with them regarding medical history but be aware that medical histories change with time so it is something you will need to update as time passes.
Good luck.
