When completed such form shall be filed with the court of the state where the medical history portion of the adoption proceedings shall take place. A copy of the completed form shall be made available to the adoptive parent prior to finalization of the adoption and to the adoptee upon reaching the age of eighteen years upon written request and proper proof of identification.
