Claud....I have read about you in your profile and your facts speech....while I am not forming an opinion yet, I am coming back to read more......I am an amom and a sister to a brother who was adopted by our family many, many, many years ago. He and I have many discussions about things I have read in your speech. I am interested in reading more....we may have more in common than we both think...

I can't wait to hear how it went! Thanks for taking the initiative. Too many of us (me included) spend a lot of time bit#$%@ and not enough time actually making a difference. So, thank you.

kris-anne,

Agree with you about the whole confidentiality of the nmother being a moot point. Adoptees should just have access to their OBC, period.

However, the forces that be always turn this into an arguement of confidentiality about the mother. Course it's a bogus concern but tell that to the ACLU and the Catholic Church and NCFA.(who each have their own agenda for

The thing going on here in Maine is that they are asking for all kinds of testimony from first parents. And the first parents, like you, are doing a great job.
