IT'S OFFICIAL!!! Gov. Ned Lamont has signed PA 21-21 into law. Every single #adoptee born in CT and who is at least 18 yrs old will be able to request their original birth certificate from the town clerk where they were born starting July 1, 2021. #adopteerights #adopteevoices

At some point, hopefully everyone will realize that the adult adopted persons who will finally have access to our original birth certificates as of July 1 are no longer children. The youngest of us who are covered by Public Act 21-21 is 37 years old.

#HB6105 is now Public Act No. 21-21 and will be sent to the governor soon for a signature! Right now is a terrific time to contact him and ask him to make #equality the law by signing HB 6105/P.A. 21-21 (reference either). #adopteerights #adopteevoices

**LAST ACTION ALERT** We're not finished just yet! Fire up those voices and let's get this bill across the finish line to make Connecticut the 10th state to treat ALL #adoptees equally. Here's how: https://t.co/lcxkDwmoyU…

Often people don't make the jump from orig. birth certs to medical histories so here it is: Restoring rights to orig birth certs is the best way for adoptees to get their own health histories & nothing works better than enabling adults to take responsibility over their own health

We are totally crushing on this pic! And we are deeply, deeply grateful @SteveCassano answered the call to public service many years ago and landed in our world, ultimately choosing equal rights & Connecticut #adoptees (and our families!) to be part of his legacy. #adopteerights
Senator Steve Cassano's reaction following the passage of this legislation after many years of hard work! 👏👏

Does anyone know of any brave legislator/ure in America who put an apology on public record to us and our mothers? We know the Australian Parliament did it in 2013 followed by the @catholicEW in 2016 and @unitedchurchcda last November. Just don't know that it's been done here. 🤔

Right now, we're just deep in the fond memory of legislators like @SenatorKissel whose thoughtful consideration over the years is so meaningful and appreciated. Thanks for your support on #HB6105 this year, Senator Kissel!
When legislators work on getting updated policies in place, it reflects their commitment to making sure laws are modern, relevant and fair. Please join us in thanking @SenatorKissel for doing this very thing yesterday. We are deeply appreciative of his support on @HB5408!

@CTSenateDems @CTSenateGOP Also, good morning #adopteetwitter! 🌞 We know everyone is excited ahead of senate debate on #HB6105, our #adopteerights bill, but there is NO official call-to-action from our team. We promise you will know for sure if/when we have an official call-to-action alert out. Thank you!

Good policymaking involves making sure everyone is treated equally. As non-adoptees and younger adopted adults are able to know their full truths, so should older adopted adults. @CTSenateDems @CTSenateGOP are taking up this very issue later today. #HB6105

All about our legislators from here on out. We're channeling this guy right now for his courage to continue telling his own story publicly to get his colleagues to support the #adopteerights bill. We're almost there! TY Rep. @TomDelnicki! We ❤️ you!

No legally sound reason has ever existed to justify denying Connecticut adult adopted persons rights to their own original birth certificates. There is nothing left to do but restore our rights. #adopteerights #adopteevoices @CTSenateDems @CTSenateGOP

There's a reason why #HB6105 is backed by a group of organizations like @NOW_CT @CWEALF @CT_CWC and 16+ others like them. Because it is deeply pro-women. Here's how. https://t.co/axuVuFnfzi
