I have been busy drafting formal letters to our federal representatives to ensure they understand the urgency of these registry reforms. Please take a moment to text three friends and ask them to read our demands today. We need to keep up the pressure on the legislature until our identities are legally recognized.

I wish to be recognised as part of my ancestry and not separated from my identity by archaic social engineering practices, as is my right as a human being.
I discovered I was adopted when I was 43. My entire life was a lie. I have no connection to my adopted or biological family I am alone. I have 2 brothers ( we are triplets) who do not know of my existence so they are not looking and I have little information to find them. Adoption messes with innocents lives, it’s never about the child but the needs of adults.
Adoption is a abhorant practice of legislated child abuse
government stole my identity made choices on my behalf and tore me from my birth family i will not stand here today and condone further adoptions
First time I've read about this. I'm not sure how I feel about it all. It is a good idea though,, just not sure it's for me, I feel lost with both.. I call both my mums.. mum... And neither of them care about me. My adoptive one never cared so I found my biological mum and she says she doesn't want to know me. Yet I feel the blood connection so am glad I met her a few times and easy to call her mum, which is strange as I don't know her.
Let's just get it done.
An adopted person should not have to beg to know where they come from. We are not "mistakes".
