| SPOTLIGHT: "CALL TO ACTION!" BIRTH PARENTS FOR ACCESS
CALLING ALL BIRTH PARENTS ~ The adoptee
access movement needs you.
If you are a birth parent (mother or father) and
you believe that all adult adopted persons
deserve access to their ORIGINAL BIRTH
CERTIFICATE then we are asking for your
help.
In November of 1998, 500 birth parents helped
sway public opinion and enact change in
Oregon by submitting their names for
publication to help pass Oregon's Measure 58.
The American Adoption Congress is asking
you to add your name among those who
support the right of adult adopted persons in
all states to obtain their original birth
certificate.
DISCLAIMER: Your information is private and will not be shared. Only your name will be
included in the list of birthparents supporting
access. Please only sign the petition one time.
Thank you!
If you have any questions, please contact
Donnie Davis @ PDJ27@aol.com
