Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has signed HB 6105, a bill that restores the right of all Connecticut-born adoptees to obtain their original birth certificates upon request without restrictions or conditions. The law goes into effect on July 1, 2021. HB 6105 is not a Bastard Nation initiated bill and we are not affiliated with Access Connecticut, but we have supported this bill and its similar predecessors for years.
Currently, approximately 38,000 adoptees born in the state before October 1, 1983, have been forced to get a court order to obtain their OBCs, while those born after that date can receive them upon request.
The only opposition to HB 6105 came from (surprise!) Catholic Charities and its cronies in the legislature who act like this is 1959, not 2021. From the Manchester Journal-Inquirer:
(Lead sponsor Sen. Steve] Cassano, noted that there has been a shift in philosophy among legislators over the years, as the proposal cleared the Planning and Development Committee unanimously before seeing widespread support in the General Assembly.
“There has been a real attitude change in the state of Connecticut,” he said. “The bill has tremendous support in this building. It has tremendous support in the community.”
Iowa and Arizona deformers who sold-out Class Bastard just a few days ago take warning!
The Connecticut victory shows what happens when power in the union refuses to step back and accept half measures: Disclosure Vetoes, Contact Vetoes, blackouts, black holes, and their corruptions.
Holding the line may take longer, but the results are clear: everyone wins. No one is left behind.
A united voice is required to get the job done. If that voice is not projected rights will continue to be shoved down that notorious black hole of compromise, and the movement will not be taken seriously. Just a bunch of “angry adoptees.”
Connecticut joins Kansas, Alaska, Oregon, Alabama, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, Colorado, and New York leading the way to adoptee equality.
The Connecticut win leaves Massachusetts and Vermont the only New England states that still restrict access in some form. Massachusetts has a clean bill running now to release its black-holed adoptees. Vermont has a mish-mash of laws that will be difficult to change due to deformer ineptitude years ago.
Congratulations go to Access Connecticut and allies for holding the line year after year; and to Connecticut adoptees for winning the prize!
