It took 31 years and many many people associated with adoption reform, and some really great sponsors to finally pass a bill to allow adult adoptees to have access to their original birth certificate in New Jersey. This means that if and when Governor Christie signs the bill into law, that I will now be one of the thousands who will be allowed to see their original birth certificate.
I will know what time I was born finally.
I only wish that I could have been there side by side with all of those who helped to make it possible in New Jersey.
Pam Hasegawa, Judy Foster, Pete Franklin, and the so many more that I do not know their names. My hat goes off to all of you. I am in it for one more try in North Carolina and then will find someone to hand it off to. I do not have the stamina that you all have had all these many years to keep going back.
I will come to NJ to get my copy though and hope that I will see some of you there as well.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart guys for everything you have accomplished.
