An action alert is forthcoming and will be posted here as soon as I get it.
Don’t let the State of Illinois create more layers of adoption bureaucracy. Don’t let the State of Illinois gut your right to unrestricted access to your birth certificate.
Here’s hoping there’s brilliant testimony from adoptees at the public hearing and that the testimonies will focus on equal rights and ending discrimination and not on the typical medical and reunion and search crap.
Of all the dirty bills, this one is as convoluted as they get. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Just open access to the OBCs and let the adoptees and mothers handle what comes after. Of course they don’t think mothers can handle anything. That is why they feel they have to speak for us inarticulate, fragile beemommies. Hogwash!
