As a surrendering mother, my only fear is that if she got her original birth certificate, and found me, that she would be disapointed in me because every since i gave her up i have fought with depression and greif .........it has had a negative effect on me and my life... plus i am so ashamed
Wish I could be there but I live in Indy. I have a spouse born in Philly though and it angers me so much that he can't have his original birth certificate! You'd think the city with a history of independence and freedom would not deliberately deny the right for someone to know their identiy but.......
Love it!!!!!!!! I am a search angel volunteer and this is going straight to my page!!!!!! by the way I will be there at the rally and so should all of us that are able to go and support this extremely important cause!!!
Here I am 63 years old born in Philly 1/25/1946 and I am still without a copy of my original birth certificate. I live in Missouri, cannot show up but I sure want to be informed. We deserve to have our original birth certificate.
I recognize some faces in this video. Michelle E from the Adoption Show among others. I am sorry I missed the chance to get my face in there- but I am so happy the spot is finished. It has a definite impact for sure.
Great job! This needs to be brought to the attention of the general public -- most citizens have no idea that adoptees are DENIED their basic right to know who they are. Send it to Philly newspapers, TV stations, etc. Let's get the word out.
Very well done! How could anyone not understand how unconscionable it is to seal birth certificates of adopted people? I never asked for anonymity from my own child - it was imposed upon me. My son and all adopted people have the right to their original birth certificate.

One upon a time, women and slaves were excluded from constitutional protections, now only adoptees and first families are. It's time for a change!
