We believe that some of the comments and recommendations made in the report can and will be used by Safe Haven advocates - as well as moderates and reformers - to "improve" without much question Safe Haven programs, not abolish them. Consequently, "improvements" on laws, could make the laws more palatable, building a legal bulwark against adoptee - not just the safe havened abandonee - rights to identity and records by creating a heretofore nonexistent right to parental anonymity. Bastard Nation and like-minded adoptee rights activists know too well the damage caused in the past 20 years by well-intentioned reformers who were willing to take " baby steps" along the yellow brick road to open records. Their happy acceptance of compromise legislation, such as disclosure and contact vetoes, has made unrestricted access to our own records in some states today a near impossible task.
