Comments on: Breaking News: Oregon leads the way again. SB623 passes. Will open adoption files, not just OBC! https://bastards.org/breaking-news-oregon-leads-the-way-again-sb623-passes-will-open-adoption-files-not-just-obc/ The Adoptee Rights Organization Wed, 15 Jan 2014 19:50:33 +0000 hourly 1 By: John M https://bastards.org/breaking-news-oregon-leads-the-way-again-sb623-passes-will-open-adoption-files-not-just-obc/#comment-746 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 19:50:33 +0000 http://www.bastards.org/?p=4654#comment-746 Unfortunately it is only directed towards court documents and in the case of Boys and Girl’s Aid Society who maintains their own files it doesn’t provide much more information than Measure 58. BGAS maintains that my preadoption birth cert. is “likely a false name” and refuses to release any of their documents and only offers to use an investigator if you pay them $400 then adds the disclaimer “I doubt they’ll come up with anything.” This is a great thing and I’m glad it passed, I just wish BGAS would stop treating me like a bastard.

I hope that other states follow through with the same laws. It is time that the world realize that all the rhetoric about “promised confidentiality to the birthmother” is not anything the majority of first mothers asked for or wanted. The confidentiality was forced upon us. Thank you, Oregon, for being such advanced thinkers and believers in adoptees having the same rights as the rest of the citizens of our country have.
