Don’t Let Yourself Be Redacted! Tell AdoptionLand that Redacted OBCs are not acceptable

Under this obscene scheme, birthparents are granted a special right that no one else has--the right to require the state to remove identifying information from your state-generated and held birth certificate. In other words, the government, as a favor to a parent with a cramped comfort zone censors your own birth certificate turning it into mini- Mueller Report and rendering you invisible, even to yourself. This black-blocking is done under the rubric of "the most good for the most, people" ' or similar garbling. They forget to mention that once redactions (or their first cousin' Disclosure Vetoes) are placed in law, no state has come back to remove them. Redactions create a permanent underclass of adoptees. Left behinds. But, hey! A state-mutilated OBC is better than no OBC! And, if you are really upset, you always go into therapy.
