Assemblymembers Tom Lackey, Diane Dixon, Heath Flora and Gail Pellerin have authored discriminatory legislation: Assembly Bill 1302.AB 1302 has been promoted as a bill that will help people adopted in California to get copies of our Original Birth Certificates. Instead, AB 1302 will require adoptees to go to court (not vital records like non-adoptees) to request copies of our OBC’s. The bill also requires the permission of both of our biological parents to have their names remain on our copies of our OBC’s. If they don’t give permission, then their names are omitted from our Original Birth Certificates. Non-adoptees don’t have to ask permission from their biological parents to have their names remain on their OBC’s!!! Why do California legislators think that adult adoptees have to do this since our biological parents were never legally promised anonymity or privacy from us?AB 1302 is treats adoptees as second class citizens and violates our constitutional rights as Americans.#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');I urge all of your readers to read the text of the bill for themselves on Legiscan and then ask these legislators to kill this dumpster fire of a bill.Mara ParkerTrinidad googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
