 Please permit me a moment of your time.

There are only a few states in the USA that provide adoptees access to their
original birth
certificates. Allow me to explain the problem. When a closed adoption
occurs, the original birth certificate is sealed and hidden. Some adoptees
after 1983 enjoyed open adoptions, but the majority of adoptions are still
closed. A fictionalized birth certificate with a new name, new parents and
false delivery physician signatures is what adoptees are permitted to access
through vital statistics. Adoptees have no access to medical records, ethnic
heritage, or a consistent biological history.

The last class of United States citizens that were deprived of such basic
rights was known as slaves.

A petition has been developed to bring awareness to legislators and the
public by insisting that adoptees in all 50 states over the age of 18
possess, if they so choose, their original birth certificates. Slavery was
abolished with a constitutional amendment, and it was through an amendment
that women were empowered to vote. Please sign this petition that demands an
"Adoptees' Amendment", and help restore an invisible minority to equal
status. "All men were created equal..." yet under the current political
climate, adoptees are not.

The Constitution provides for all citizens to have the right to life. It
also demands that all persons have their rights to property. By denying
Adoptee's their Original Birth certificates the State Governments are
denying adoptee's their rights to property. They are being denied access to,
or possession of, the Original Birth Certificates that every other citizen
in this country is entitled to. They are therefore suffering discrimination
as a class of citizen and their Civil Rights are being denied them. Many
adoptees are being denied their right to LIFE because they are refused
necessary medical information that is relevant to their health and welfare.
This information which provides them with genetic predisposition to diseases
that may cause harm to their lives is not accessible to the adopted person,
in preference of closed adoption records.

The United States of America has not ratified the United Nations'
"Convention of the Child", which includes international law regarding the
sale of children, as well as on the involvement of children in armed
conflict. Out of all the countries in the world, the USA remains one of
three countries, together with Somalia and Timor-Leste (which newly became a
country in September of 2002), that is not a party to this human rights
treaty.

Civil Rights for Adoptees in America is about Human Rights that all
Americans should care about. Please join the thousands of other citizens who
would like to see an end to the unconstitutional treatment of adoptees as
separate and unequal. Please click on the link below. It will take you to
the petition, which can be signed, online. When you are through, please
consider forwarding the petition to as many people that you know, both triad
and non-triad alike.
