I admit I felt like the Illinois Bill was a good one when it was first announced, I see now why it isn't. I am grateful for you opening my eyes. As a 1st I am completely behind an adoptees right to the OBC. I have always said I never asked for it to be kept from my daughter. I am really worried about the fight for open records right now. The "State of the Union" of those fighting for the cause isn't good. I just pray that changes.<BR/>Much love & keep speaking out!<BR/>KristySearchingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26754179.post-60533681525303218942008-07-19T05:16:00.000-07:002008-07-19T05:16:00.000-07:00Well said, GA!

Having experienced the Illinois intermediary program's "something" firsthand, I can definitely say I would have preferred "nothing."<BR/><BR/>If you are adopted - would you really support a law that allows you access to your information, knowing the same law locks other adoptees out of theirs?<BR/><BR/>This is why we oppose Illinois HB 4623 - because it would grant access to some while sacrificing others.<BR/><BR/>EVERYONE deserves equal access, not just the chosen, sanctioned few.Triona Guidryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969598333210972017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26754179.post-78342433065724651712008-07-14T04:19:00.000-07:002008-07-14T04:19:00.000-07:00Yup, yup and yup. :)Go Grannie...Yup, yup and yup. :)<BR/>Go Grannie...The Improper Adopteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04460201280334904431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26754179.post-18962617899299836322008-07-11T18:19:00.000-07:002008-07-11T18:19:00.000-07:00You said it, Grannie!You said it, Grannie!Pennagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794044911550964894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26754179.post-68859785528059214582008-07-11T18:11:00.000-07:002008-07-11T18:11:00.000-07:00Great blog, Anita!

It only leads to laws that take many years to change. We have to hold out for what is right and we need a legislator who will introduce a bill that treats all adoptees equally with all being able to request and obtain their OBC.Mary Lynn Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070854025711079569noreply@blogger.com
