#adoption is amazing. not only can you pay a broker to source a human being you get to call “your child,” but the state will retcon your fantasy into legal and pseudo-biological reality.

There are something like 5 million adopted people in the United States. Only 17 states allow adoptees unrestricted access to their birth records. Their ACTUAL birth records. Not the fake one the state created. What a horrible system.

When I was volunteering at the COVID19 vaccine POD in 2021, people would say over and over again that they were getting vaccinated for the people they love. Last year, only 17.5% of American adults got the COVID19 vaccine. Please get one for the people you love. 💕

California adoptees can’t get their original birth certificates. That may change

A bill pending in the state Legislature would allow people adopted in the state to get the unmodified birth record.

in the USA one doesn’t generally hear the phrase “forced #adoption,” despite the fact that virtually every context in which a parent relinquishes a child to a family of strangers—Baby Scoop, intercountry adoption, adoptions of Indigenous children, CPS foster care to adoption—is forced.

The problem is that almost everyone involved in the debate over #adoptee rights—except for a few adoptees and birthparents—frames the debate as a matter of balancing the rights of all parties involved. No. Sealing birth records violates ONLY the adoptee’s rights. Unsealing them violates NO ONE’s.

Adoptees notice how hopeful adopters will run gofundmes to afford #adoption fees, while the idea of financially supporting pregnant people or struggling parents at risk of losing their children to foster care or adoption is never considered. These systems are not about child welfare.

“ethical adoption,” if we want to use that phrase, would denote a form of long-term custodianship that leaves a child’s vital records intact and accessible and that is annullable at the age of legal majority. And I don’t believe there is such a thing as ethical intercountry #adoption.

I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness of the ruling. But it is limited to one lady in Colorado who may get a preliminary injunction allowing her to perform conversion talk therapy. It's a narrow ruling. The merits are still live. We gotta live in that narrowness. ADF wants us to despair.

Adoption is not social welfare. It is what happens because we *reject* social welfare—because we do *not* help those who need it most. Adoption is a *business*: the business of making affluent people into the parents of less fortunate people’s children.

NY Adoptee Rights Coalition with a letter in support of CA SB381, which would give CA #adoptees unrestricted access to their own birth records. “Since the law's enactment, NYARC has not heard any negative stories from birth parents, who have also been some of our most active advocates and allies. +

RE: SB381 - DO PASS RECOMMENDATION
Dear Senator Caroline Menjivar and Members of the Senate Health Committee:
I am the spokesperson for the New York Adoptee Rights Coalition. In 2019, New York secured the right for all New York-born adult adopted people to request and obtain certified copies of their own original birth certificates. The legislation took effect on January 15, 2020.
Since that time vital record authorities in New York have released more than 20,000 original birth records to the adult adopted people named on them.
Since the law's enactment, NYARC has not heard any negative stories from birth parents, who have also been some of our most active advocates and allies. We have, however, heard from people thanking us for helping to heal their families by ensuring that their adopted loved one is treated as an equal citizen to their non-adopted relatives, neighbors, and friends. The sky has not fallen, people are not hiding from one another, and no harm has been done to anyone. Remarkably, Democratic Assembly Member Deborah Glick, who long opposed similar bills, realized that the law no longer worked and that it reflected and reinforced outdated stereotypes associated with adoption and "out-of-wedlock" births. She concluded that the law was overdue for change. She also apologized to adoptees on the floor of the Assembly, after which there was a standing ovation when the bill passed 56-6.
I am sure you are hearing from California adoptees, adoptive parents, and birthparents about SB381. I trust they are making the same arguments about equality that won out in New York six years ago. Suffice it to say that New York, after eighty-three years with one of the most restrictive vital records laws in the country, turned a corner on January 15, 2020.
The results have been nothing short of astounding.
Please support SB381. I am open to any questions about New York's current law.
Best regards,
Annette O'Connell
Spokesperson
New York Adoptee Rights Coalition
