It reminds me that as an adoptee, I'm forbidden to know mine. Ever. <br /><br />I know dabbling in genealogy can be exciting, as my adoptive mother loved unraveling more pieces of her own history and puzzle. However, given the adoption laws in the US, practices in my country of birth, and language barriers between my culture of origin and adopted culture, and falsification of adoption paperwork, it's unlikely that I (and many other adoptees) will ever be able to experience the fascination of self-discovery and follow the trail of one's own existence. <br /><br />However, you and others can help. <br />1) Please sign and share this petition: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/an-executive-order-to-1<br />2) Please look at obcforma.org for how you can help restore the right for adoptees to have their unaltered original birth certificates unsealed<br />3) Watch and share this video to understand how this outdated law affects some real people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7bTbFohMog<br /><br />Thank you! Hoping soon that adoptees will also be able to understand their genealogy if they wish.kymnoreply@blogger.com
