Supporting New York’s Adoptee Rights Bill A909

Everyone from everywhere should fill out this form and submit a SHORT statement supporting the NY state bill of Adoptee rights A909 by the cutoff date January 27th .

If you live in New York State it would be especially helpful to do this because this is a New York state *human rights* issue dealing with *adopted adults* (NY state) gaining access to our original birth certificate at the age of 18.

If people are able to attend, that would be terrific as well because there is unity and power in numbers. Thank you to everyone everywhere.

If you have any questions please ask Kathy Brush, (Adoptee, Western New York Regional Coordinator at ksb1951@frontiernet.net ) one of many regional coordinators for the New York State organization New York Statewide Adoption Reform’s Unsealed Initiative

About the Author

Musings of the Lame was started in 2005 primarily as a simple blog recording the feelings of a birthmother as she struggled to understand how the act of relinquishing her first newborn so to adoption in 1987 continued to be a major force in her life. Built from the knowledge gained in the adoption community, it records the search for her son and the adoption reunion as it happened. Since then, it has grown as an adoption forum encompassing the complexity of the adoption industry, the fight to free her sons adoption records and the need for Adoptee Rights, and a growing community of other birthmothers, adoptive parents and adopted persons who are able to see that so much what we want to believe about adoption is wrong.
