Did you know that only 11 out of the 50 United States allow adoptees to obtain a copy of their original birth certificate? This means that many adoptees in both open and closed adoptions cannot ever know their true identity...heritage...race or origin story. It also means these adoptees may never have access to their personal or family medical history leaving them without warning about critical medical information that could prevent or prolong their lives --and the lives of their future progeny.
