Adoption Network Cleveland is hosting a celebration Thursday evening March 19, 2015 as part of “Opening Day” – when 1964-1996 Ohio adoptees can first apply for their vital statistics records. We reserved a block of rooms at the NEW LOCATION: Crowne Plaza Ballroom, 33 Nationwide Blvd., Columbus, Ohio  (which is just several blocks from Vital Statistics). There will be celebrations on Friday March 20 as well.

The Ohio Department of Health has agreed to share the adoptee records request form with us at the close of business Thursday March 19! This means that at the celebration we are holding adoptees can fill out their forms together and we’ll have notaries on hand. This will help everything go smoothly to hand in forms the next morning at Vital Statistics. With ODH we are planning a ceremony for mid-day on the 20th. Details available soon. Please plan to join us if you can!

Media Stories Needed:

Media contact form for people impacted by the records opening The media will want to talk to those who are impacted by the new law. If you would like to be part of this important effort, please let us know a little about you. Either fill out this form online and hit the Submit button or send an email to Linda Schellentrager.

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.

    I was adopted and did not find out until I was 39…
    Adoption is past tense – this is now, live in the present moment and move on… get a grip and get over it… forgive yourself if you feel guilty but just move on… that is empowerment!

      Well, while perhaps for you finding out your are a later discovery adoptee was not a big deal, but for many others adoption is not one time event. Not sure why others have to follow your lead rather than do what works for them. If you are so Ok, then why are you bothering to chastise others on adoptions blogs? Why not just go live your happy dappy life?
