Breaking down adoption myths...

When I called my mother for the first time she broke down calling me by my original name, crying, sobbing actually. She has spent her life thinking of me and falling into depression around my birthday every year. My wonderful step-father has been there for her, holding her, comforting her as she has dealt with the incredible pain of losing her first child.

as we cannot produce an original birth certificate. We have a state sponsored lie as a "birth certificate". Even when we have found our birth families we are still not entitled to see/have our original birth certificates. Just think about that for awhile.

Brought tears to my eyes.

It's time to open the records for the very reasons on the video.
