| Comments From Adoptive Parents |
| "Every citizen in our country has a right to the legal documents of how they came to be a part of the world, and a part of their family. Why should my son be denied this basic right?" - Mindy Elliott-Adelman |
| "The biological trail and roots of a person are necessary for a healthy sense of identity and self-esteem. If I do not know where I came from, it is hard to know where I am going. I would love to find my adopted son's birth family for him. And the African/American birth family of my 2 year old grandson, so he can grow up enriched by both races." - Bonita Swan |
| "I have 2 adopted young adults and I think they are entitled to know 'who' they are and where they came from." - Rhonda |
| "Why should we want to give our children less, when we can give them more?" - Helen |
| "As an... adoptive father, it is my position that it is not only the constitutional right but also the human right for adult adoptees to have unencumbered access to their original birth certificates without vetoes, intermediaries, white-outs, amendments, or any other defacement, exactly the same as any non-adopted person." - Rev. Dr. John W. Sweeley |
