myself, they are only editing out the last names of my biological parents. it was a closed adoption, meaning my adoptive parents made it where my biological parents couldnt change their minds about putting me up for adoption once they had given me up.

Alisandria, redaction is editing out certain information about my biological parents, as to protect their identity, since it was a closed adoption case.

Thanks for all your replies. I appreciate it. I'm trying not to set my hopes too high, but I am hopeful for something.
