Arizona Under the Bridge
The bills from the beginning were pimped by the fake adoptee advocacy group Arizona Heritage (HA!) headed by adoptee-not-born-in Arizona-no-skin-in-the-game Britany Luna, MSW. The group went silent in public after the fix was in. Its Facebook page is now private, secret, or dead. Even more interesting the HA website hasn’t hype-hype horrayed their “victory!” The politically influential right-wing anti-abortion (and anti-queer) “traditional family values” crowd at the Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) joined them in their adopteephobic scheme. CAP is funded in large part by the National Christian Charitable Foundation, an organization unded with money from Hobby Lobby.

On May 13, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed HF 855* a bill that restores the right of Iowa-born adoptees to their Original Birth Certificates. Only it doesn’t. The bill contains a redaction provision, cleverly and erroneously called a Contact Preference Form. This corrupt CPF ignores the “preference” part of its title, and acts as a Disclosure Veto that can allow biological parents to order the state to black out their names and other identifying information—possibly including the adoptee’s original name–on the document before it is released to “their” pesky bastard. In other words, the state is mandated to mutilate its own generated and held record to ease the comfort zone of a small subset of biological parents who just aren’t up to owning their parenthood.

Although an identical bill sailed through the Arizona House in 2020, this time it was amended down, quickly, with the consent of the fake adoptee advocacy group, Heritage Arizona (aka HA! ) and the sponsor Rep. Bret Roberts to cover only those born in 2022 and beyond; thus, leaving the majority of Arizona-born adoptees behind. In practical terms, the HB 2070 law could not have been utilized by Arizona adoptees until 2040!
