It's good that SB381 in Calif. would forbid this.

🌴 Since I had posted that California's adoptee rights bill would be heard in committee next week, I now feel responsible for letting people know the hearing for SB381 was postponed to 6/23. I'm just impatient for this bill to pass the State Assembly after doing so well in the Senate (35-0).

❗Well done! Discussion of adoptee rights bill SB381 ended at 9:20am PDT, all testimony in support. One legislator asked what took us so long. We've been trying for years!
However, we have to wait for a vote because there was no quorum in the Assembly Judiciary Committee. I can't imagine failure.

🎉 Fantastic testimony in support of adoptee rights bill SB 381 by Senator Aisha Wahab (author of bill), Wendy Turk (adoptee) & Gretchen Sisson (sociologist and author of "Relinquished"). Also, individuals in support of the bill are lined up to support adoptees' right to our own birth certificate. 🥚

Bill author Aisha Wahab was just great, speaking at the end about the importance of adoptees learning our ethnicity & health history. She'd been in foster care herself. A great start for SB 381.
