:) The passing of the New Hampshire law allowing adoptees access to their records is of course fantastic! This is a break through for those adoptees looking for birth parents and birth parents trying to locate lost children. More importantlly I think that finally one will be able to get an insight into the medical backgrounds of our parents to medical histories that may be of primary importance to us. How many times has a doctor, hospital or some other person asked you about your family's medical background and you had to say you didn't know because you were adopted. How do we know what impact their health may have had upon us? WONDERFUL NEWS. FANTASTIC! Ed Symonds
