Thanks for the comments, Happyjack102 & AnOhioAdoptee - couldn't agree more, it's time for the law to change and for adult adoptee rights to be restored. Thanks for helping spread the word!
Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, Tennessee and Rhode Island have all opened birth certificates to adult adoptees, why can't Ohio? I wish more people could appreciate how infuriating it is to be denied access to your own birth certificate.
These laws were never intended to benefit anyone but the adoptive parents. The State of Oregon gives us a decade, Alaska and Kansas a lifetime of experience showing that giving an adoptee a copy of their original birth certificate harms no one and benefits many.
