Thousands of adoptees across our states have had their identity taken from them. The time has come to unseal birth records & grant adoptees their original birth certificates
Why is this important?
My husband, Matthew DiPaulo, was adopted back in 1969. A time when single parenthood was a disgrace. Birth Certificates were amended to show the adoptive parents as the birth parents and original birth records were sealed. This has left 1000's of adoptees in the dark about their heritage & even more importantly their medical history. These children of adoption are now adults, many with families of their own. The time has come to end the secrecy & lies & give back to the adoptees what is rightfully theirs ..... Their original birth certificate.
