Action Alert

STOP THE ROT

Idaho adoptees are up to their necks in legislative garbage.

Lawmakers claim adoptees aren’t mature enough to receive their OBCs until the age of 40

Below is the action alert our friends at The Adoptee Rights Law Center sent out over the weekend. Join us in killing this horrible horrible horrible bill that is scheduled to be heard in the Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee on Monday, March 11.

The action alert is self-explanatory.

Our letter is posted here.

Be An Adult: NO on Idaho HB544

A bill in Idaho will define an adult adoptee as a person who is at least 40 years old. That’s dumb, discriminatory, and insulting. Take action today with a simple and quick email or phone call to members of the senate committee hearing the bill on Monday, March 11.
