Access to our original birth certificates doesn't violate privacy or mandate contact. It ends state-enforced policing of our relationships and restores identity, autonomy, and equal rights for adoptees. 🥚

Michigan’s experts in law, health, safety, and justice oppose baby boxes. These are not fringe or ideological groups, they work directly with families in crisis, public safety, healthcare, and child protection and they know baby boxes are not a real solution—just a deeply flawed policy. 🥚

Truth isn’t a luxury, it’s time to demand better. Adoptees shouldn’t have to fight the government for what everyone else takes for granted: the truth about who they are. 🥚

More and more countries are banning intercountry adoption for good reason.
Corruption, trafficking, and forged documents aren’t isolated incidents. They’re built into the system, and it's time we admit: U.S. adoption isn’t centered on child welfare. It’s driven by demand. 🥚

Equality means truth for everyone. Michigan law still blocks adult adoptees from accessing their original birth records, while every non-adopted person has that right. Learn More: adopteerightslaw.com/michigan/

Every person deserves to know who they are, where they come from, and the truth of their own story. For adoptees, sealed records, erased histories, and forced silences are violations, not protections. It's time to end the secrecy and recognize identity as a human right. 🥚
