BASTARD NATION URGENT ACTION ALERT: SUPPORT MISSOURI’S HB-1436, OPEN RECORDS FOR ADULT ADOPTEES!HB-1436 WILL BE HEARD IN THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28th.
PLEASE CONTACT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND URGE THEM TO PASS THIS BILL OUT OF COMMITTEE WITH A “YES” VOTE!!HB-1436 has been introduced in the Missouri Assembly and would restore the availability of original birth certificates to adult adoptees born in the state, upon request and on par with other adults born in Missouri.

The Missouri Open group supporting this legislation needs our help to ensure that the voice for adoptee rights in heard in the Show Me State!!

Please pitch in and help Missouri win open records for adult adoptees!
