I had hoped with Jacobs gone, things would change. But as I understand it, some other chapters have different views. In Jacobs case, the evil she did lives on behind her. Don't give up NJ, just as we cannot give up in NY.<br /><br /><br />Lorraine Duskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285341379272250245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112566410387491537.post-21382024908520275042013-03-16T06:46:46.551-07:002013-03-16T06:46:46.551-07:00Great Letter!Great Letter!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829597048518840130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112566410387491537.post-35801449187003628592013-03-15T14:52:08.431-07:002013-03-15T14:52:08.431-07:00Lynn,

Under the leadership of Deborah Jacobs, who has since left for another position, it continued to insist that original parents and adoptees have "competing interests," and that both parties could meet only be "mutual agreement," to be determined, of course, by a registry or a confidential intermediary. This organization does not understand adoption history or reality -- at all. I think their thinking goes, "If a woman can get an abortion anonymously, she should be able to have a child anonymously." To date, they have been tone deaf to the issue of adoptee rights. I'm hoping that with new leadership, we will see a change.

There were social workers for adoption agencies testifying in Columbus, Ohio that there was language actually put into the surrender documents that said "you understand that we are not guaranteeing you confidentiality". Private reproductive choices? Is giving birth private? I don't think so, which explains why birth certificates are public record. Why does a birth mother's birth privacy trump my right to see my birth certificate? It's just not even logical! The records have ALWAYS been available prior to adoption finalization. The records have ALWAYS been available by Court Order. There is not privacy. It's a myth!
