We run into sealed records and it seems like we don't have a voice. Well I want to gather those voices and let them HEAR us all at once. I am an adult adoptee and I understand the pain of searching and people who just don't care. There are many sites and modern day angels who selflessly help us on our journey and when you meet one, it takes the fears, worries and sorrow away. This is not a page to meet those people, although it is possible. I want this page to be a political action page! One where we can all get together and be heard as one! This is a page where many members can have a strong enough voice that our lawmakers in Florida will finally stand up and listen. We are taking action to stand up and have our rights restored to open our adoption records. This is being done in solidarity with the principles of Occupy Wall Street. We are a peaceful group that has power in numbers. Anyone interested in changing the laws in Florida to Open records for adoptees are welcome to join. My facebook is Occupy Adoptee Rights in Florida.Bretthttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Occupy-Adoptee-Rights-in-Florida/336213063078881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138721004042487054.post-41877069881934892702011-12-15T07:47:56.500-05:002011-12-15T07:47:56.500-05:00Teri, thanks for coming and I wish you the best as...Teri, thanks for coming and I wish you the best as you go on this journey with your daughter. I know the heart pounding, edge of your seat feeling you're dealing with right now. It's an emotional journey and can be a roller coaster ride but for me it was worth every bit to have my daughter in my life again.Carlynne Hershberger, CPSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365785230628216814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138721004042487054.post-86120249151828215252011-12-15T02:34:47.538-05:002011-12-15T02:34:47.538-05:00As a mother about to send my first letter to my da...As a mother about to send my first letter to my daughter who I lost to adoption 20 years ago, I thank you for your wisdom and your passion and your insight.

The voices of the people adoption impacts should be foremost in who is heard and considered in adoption but that isn't the case UNLESS you're repeating what the powers that be wants to be repeated!<br /><br />You rock!Amandahttp://www.declassifiedadoptee.comnoreply@blogger.com
