An independent voice for ethical adoption
Ballot proposal would open Denver adoption records
From The Denver Post:
The birth records of adoptions finalized in Denver would become available to the adoptees, once they are adults, under a proposed ballot initiative.
Adoptees in Search — the Colorado Triad Connection will hold a “review and comment” session on Friday with City Council staff and the city attorney’s office about the proposed ballot measure.
The group — with about 1,000 members, mostly adoptees but also birth parents and adoptive parents — hopes to persuade voters to pass an ordinance allowing the adoptees “equal, direct and unrestricted access” to their birth records.
Members hope to collect the nearly 4,000 petition signatures necessary to get their proposal on the ballot.
