Bastards Unite
When I was walking into my job Wednesday, I saw this cover story from USA Today. Since I am adopted, it immediately caught my eye.
More and more states here in the US are realizing that closed adoption records need to be rectified, and are giving adoptees access to their Original Birth Certificate. I thank God for it. I would just about kill to know who my biological parents are, and where to find them.
I also loved this:
“This is really about identity and the truth of a human being’s existence. We never start a book from Chapter 2; as adoptees, we live our lives from Chapter 2.” - Darrell McDainels, adoptee, also known as DMC
Here’s hoping more and more adoptees will push for open records in their home states, until there’s not an adoptee anywhere in the United States that can’t find out their heritage if they want to.
