Thank you for posting your question to History Hub!
The federal government does not keep adoption records, and every state has their own rules regarding access to adoption records. Also, you did not provide a date, and we can not be certain what records were created historically. We suggest that you reach out to the Georgia Department of Human Services Division of Family & Children Services for more information.
For general information about Cherokee genealogical research, The Bureau of Indian Affairs has a webpage on Tracing American Indian and Alaska Native Ancestry, which specifically addresses the topic of Cherokee genealogical research. Additionally, the Department of the Interior has a page on Trace Indian Ancestry to include a page on Cherokee Ancestry.
We hope this is helpful with your research!
