The Ohio Department of Health has suspended requests nor will they send the Ohio Birth Index until sometime in the year 2000 (so they say). They claim that the people who do the work to generate the indexes are busy working on the "Y2K" problem and upgrading their computer system. Ohio Adoptee Searches has a number of indexes available and will, until such time as the state resumes make these available. Once a request is received, it will be processed and sent via Email within 36 hours. The cost $35.00 per request payable by mail, check by phone (or internet) or credit card. (Visa-MC-AMEX-Discover).
