In an effort to unite all advocates and advocacy groups around the Weprin/Montgomery bill, NYARC delivered the following letter to two representatives of New York State Adoption Equality, a former core partner with NYARC. A copy of the letter is here.

From the letter:

In our recent meeting with you and others in Albany, Assembly Member Weprin requested that all advocacy groups—including the American Adoption Congress, NYSAE, and Unsealed Initiative—unite with us to pursue enactment of the Weprin/Montgomery bill. In an unprecedented response, the AAC and Unsealed Initiative agreed and committed to the bill, as did the New York Adoptee Rights Coalition and its partners. You and NYSAE, however, continued to insist on pursuing a competing bill that has little support in the legislature and will cause confusion among legislators and advocates as the Weprin/Montgomery bill moves ahead.
