Thanks for asking. The new law is unrestricted. All Vermont-born adoptees can receive their OBCs with no restrictions or conditions, upon request starting July 1, 2023. OBC access is separated from the Registry. DVs that are on file now (or that might be placed before that date) will be rescinded and removed on July 1, 2023. Ohio and New Jersey both contain sun-setted black-outs/DVs (and in the case of NJ, victims of Safe Haven relinquishment are automatically denied access, too). A couple of hundred adopted people in Ohio fell under the blackout provision and cannot receive their unmutilated true OBC–and a handful of post mid-1996 adoptees are DV’d. I really wish that Ohio could fall into the Free States column but so far, it can’t.
