Change is in the Wind - For Those Who Fight For It

Change is right around the corner, but only if those associated with adoption really want that change.

You are the ones who vote the legislators in Raleigh into their positions. So they are suppose to listen to you as their constituents. However if you never write or call them they do cannot read your mind as to what you want them to vote favorably for.

When I go out to adoptionforums.com, under search and reunion, I see all of these people who want to find some loved one. The NC Coalition is trying to get that for those people in allowing them to be able to utilize the confidential intermediary program.

But the organization cannot do it alone. It does need everyone who happens upon this blog to help by writing to their legislator today.

We have bill HB 1463 Expand Access Confidential Intermediary passed through the House, but now it is back in the Senate JII committee, because members of the NC Family Policy Council are working the legislators, and telling them if they make this new change women will abort their children instead of giving them up for adoption.

This agency clearly does not know the law, just as many of our legislators do not understand that records are only SEALED upon the FINALIZATION OF ADOPTION, so you can NEVER legally promise a birthmother confidentiality. Her child may NEVER be adopted.

Plus, our legislators continue to spend our tax dollars, in the attempt of telling which adult can talk or contact another adult. Does this happen in any other aspect of life other than adoption? No, it doesn't, and shouldn't for adoptees and birthparents or adoptees and siblings or adoptees and other blood related family members. All adoption did was substitute one blood related family for one which is not blood related.

We cannot make the much needed changes without YOU those who are associated through adoption, or friends and family who are NOT associated with adoption in contacting your legislators.
