2) open adoption records [by Anonymous Citizen on March 18, 2008]
now, i'm not sure if i'd want to talk to someone who gave me up for adoption. most people don't.

You are wrong there. Are you adopted? Maybe not. If you will go to the internet you will find 100's,no thousands of people looking, searching for birth families. If you aren't adopted, you can't possibly understand. I have the right,as an American, to have a birth certificat that has not been changed. There is very little on my BC that is true. It has no hospital. No time. No weight. No doctor. It gives the names of my adoptive parents, whom I love very much, but they were NOT there. They were not even in the picture until I was 6 months old.

3) extra rights? [by Anonymous Citizen on March 18, 2008]
We don't want EXTRA rights. Just the same rights as all of those people who are not adopted. Everyone has the right to have, own, see, their birth certificate. Everyone, that is, but those that were adopted between '45 and '80. Nothing extra, just equal.
