Rep Cynthia Davis has prefiled House Bill 1237 which would ease some of the restrictions on access to original birth certificates (OBCs) in Missouri. While the bill is not perfect (it still contains some elements allowing natural parents to have veto over access, but they would have to take positive steps to do so) it's an improvement. And as Rep Davis told me tonight in an email, consider it soup at this stage - as sponsor she can add and subtract ingredients to taste.
Please - if you were adopted from the Show Me State you have an interest in this bill! Feel free to contact me and I'll keep you notified of when committee hearings are scheduled. Of particular help would be natural mothers and adoptees who live in Missouri and would be willing to contact your local legislators - nothing gets a politician's attention like a possible voter!
Well, except for campaign donations (AKA bribes...) But since we're not a wealthy lobby we'll have to do it with numbers.:grr:
