MnAdoptReform is a non-partisan coalition working to reform MN law to allow all adult adoptees access to their own original birth certificates - their TRUTH.
Solid story from @MPRnews reporter @timnelson_mpr on the new Minnesota law, effective less than a year from now. Minnesota will be the 15th state to restore or affirm everyone's right to their own birth records. https://t.co/6uSqlpSJBO
We either unify around an unwavering commitment to full identity rights or turn into a squabbling mess of states and advocates—some of whom literally believe inequality and division is “meh, good enough for me.”
It’s that simple. https://t.co/XqiZ5z9S8I
A short video from us as part of today's hearing in the Minnesota Senate. Thank you co-authors Sen. @KarlaBigham@SenWestrom and Sen. Bruce Anderson as well as primary sponsor @SenatorCarlson for your leadership on SF328.
Adopted persons are the only citizens denied access to government document that records their birth. Please support HF 2906 https://t.co/BRuGNb15f6 Contact your local representative at https://t.co/v6Ji8FRKpX

SIGNED! IT'S LAW! IT'S HISTORY! Thank you @GovAndrewCuomo, Assemblyman @DavidWeprin, Senator Velmanette Montgomery and all of our allies, supporters, friends, and family. Our goal is finally here: New York got it right. New York made it equal!
Adoption Reform also includes healing the wounds of adoption.
Save the Date: Saturday, October 27, 2018 for birth mothers'/first mothers' annual retreat.
All women who have relinquished their child to adoption are welcome.
Getting ready to mail questionnaires to all MN legislative candidates asking,"Do you support adult adoptees' access to their own original birth certificates?" It's important to 135,000 adopted in MN since 1932 (+ descendants & family members) as they prepare to vote.
