Here's the letter Linda E. sent in response to the article published in the San Francisco Examiner titled: "Fight Over Adoption Secrecy!"
Linda wrote:
Measure 58 is not about search and reunion.
Adoptees and birth parents are already doing that
without open records. It is about restoring rights
to adult adoptees by allowing them to obtain their
original birth certificates.
Promoting anything but open records on demand for
adult adoptees is promoting discrimination, fear
and shame.
Truth and honesty will always prevail over
secrets and lies.
This is as it should be.
Not very complicated, really.
