As as pregnant seventeen-year-old, I wondered exactly what was meant by sealed records. Just a humble envelope? An envelope with the state seal? --done in sealing wax, perhaps? A locked file cabinet? I still don't know.
But I do know this, birthparents can help the Adoptee Access Movement in their struggle to obtain original birth certificates for adult adoptees. You can sign this form: Birthparents for Access .
Because "birthmother confidentiality" is often trotted out as an argument opposing open records, it really can help the cause to sign in favor of unsealing those records.
