I know the birth parents. yet, I’m still been unable to get an original redacted birth certificate. there is something about not knowing the details of your own birth, like the exact day, time, weight, that will eat at you. It’s been years. I’m now being told by the agency, I got papers from before, that I was never there. So, things have gotten worse. Might be hipaa laws. Imagine having a big family one day, and losing it, and everyone ghosting you even though they are still in the same state, and you drive near their houses all the time.

Not that we know of. About 15 years ago a group worked for a while and got nowhere. If a bill is dropped in VA you will read about it here. Thanks do writing.
