HB 1599 will be heard on Tuesday February 2, 2016 before the House  Children and Families Committee.  This is a clean bill that will restore access to all Missouri-born adoptees, without restrictions or conditions,  their original birth certificates.  The committee will meet at Noon in Room #1.

  • The bill  and its history  is  here
  • Under current law, adoptees can access their OBC only through court order.  The current law is here.

Don Phillips and to committee members now.  Your message need not be long. Let them know that the era of sealed  birth certificates is  over and that Missouri adoptees should be treated the same as the not adopted. Ask them to vote YES for HB 1599.
