Joint Action Alert: Connecticut and Alaska Baby Abandonment Box Hearings, February 20, 2025

February 18, 2025

Connecticut and Alaska have Safe Haven Baby Box bill hearings scheduled for February 20, 2025. We need your help now…Safe Haven Baby Boxes are a direct attack on the adoptee rights movement and bastards who speak their own truth.  This year, as you will see by the 2025 Legislation page, the country is being blitzkrieged with baby box bills.  Currently there are 316 boxes in the US. 55 newborns have been caught and erased from their own histories and birth records. The adoptee voice has been virtually ignored by baby abandonment box promotors who say that adopted people who oppose are “mentally unstable.” Let your voice be heard now and show them who is really unstable.

Bastard Nation Action Alert: West Virginia HB4815 and SB153. DO NOT PASS. Reactionary and Dangerous

January 25, 2024

HB4815 is a confusing bill that requires adult adoptees to apply UNSUCCESSFULLY to the West Virginia Mutual Consent Registry for their identifying information BEFORE they can apply for their OBC.SB153 is another nonsensical bill that redacts by default, all identifying information on the OBC unless a biological parent specifically authorizes, via a Department of Health consent form, the release of the genuine unredacted document. The bill restricts OBC access and will set a reactionary legal precedent: no other state redacts OBCs by default.
