I am needing to get permission from a court to open my sealed adoption record and a lawyer charges me 1,000 plus court costs.

Well, that would be the $1,000 question. The reason he charges that much is because of the expertise he has about these cases. Petitions can be very complex and you will not get a complete answer here.

Most states who allow you to petition to have the adoption records opened usually have a simple form that you can complete and submit to the appropriate state agency and/or state attorney general. If you were adopted in a state where the records are permanently sealed, you probably can't do anything about it.
