Closed adoptions are not searchable records. You would have to subpoena that information, and you'd need a damn good reason. Unless the mother wanted it opened, or had died and left no instructions on keeping the records sealed. A private investigator would not, legally, have access to closed adoption records.

Now, we can assume, tho, that Henry's website used illegal means, but, like Ktmae said, we'll just have to suspend disbelief a bit.
