At the core, Act 470 has always been about adopted people having equal access to the government document that records their birth as it rightly should be and we focused on that point throughout the legislative session.

We have been deeply touched by all the notes and messages and wanted to share some of the sentiments which have been so powerful.

Through all of this many of you have told us, it has been powerful, emotional, you are over the moon, others have found answers and closure, sadly some have found graves, some of you have made new connections and others are just at peace because an injustice has been corrected and a civil right has been restored.

Every experience is valid and important.
