Being denied their original birth certificates isn't just a problem for adoptees. It's a social problem, requiring social change.

Discovering that I was adopted redefined my entire world, but it taught me that who you are doesn't change.

Laws forbidding adoptees from accessing their original birth certificates are outdated and need to be changed today.

Blood can help make family, but family often transcends blood.

If the system were designed to protect adoptees, why do so many have to fight for their rights?

Adoptee rights are everyone's rights, and they deserve to be protected.

It's illegal to deny people their records due to race or gender. Adoptees deserve the same rights and protections.

Adoption isn't just a childhood experience, it's a life-long experience.

Adoptees deserve open records because deception and partial truths do not set us free.
