From New York Adoptee Rights Coalition…
Having done our due diligence by contacting both of our sponsors’ offices regarding the rumors of confusion and conflation with another unrelated bill, we can assure you that neither Rome nor Albany are burning nor are legislators or the Governor’s office confused. The #WeprinMontgomery Bill stands on its own among other bills. It remains a 𝙏𝙊𝙋 priority. We heard feedback like “that’s comparing apples to oranges” followed by laughter. The fact that we even had to address these rumors 𝙞𝙨 laughable and insulting; not just to us but to the legislators themselves. They, and their staff, actually read for comprehension and are aware of what bills are what.
Please remember it was our political strategy and awareness that got S3419 passed with the support of a supermajority of legislators. Despite (repeated and ongoing) attempts at sabotage and nonsense thrown our way, our focus remains 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙡𝙮 on the enactment of S3419, as it has always been.
If others want to double down on personal grudges, make up stories that don’t exist, and yell whenever they can so that people think they’re advocating, well, that’s on them. Those who dropped out two years ago, however, should give up the ghost that their yelling is relevant today.
We continue our work and want to assure you that everything is happening on the schedule we had anticipated. Please keep an eye out for further information and Action Alerts. Hang tight.
