I have found that most people don't realize adoptee's have no access to their biological histories. We are denied the rights that others have. We are denied access to our "true" birth certificates & instead given altered records of our birth. This is a basic right that everyone else takes for granted. We are denied even the most basic medical information unless we have an urgent need to know and can find a sympathetic judge to open our records & order a third party to search for our biological families. Adoptees die unnecessarily from genetic illnesses because the system says they have no right to know about them. The people in control of our true heritage claim that the birth mothers forget their children & don't want to be found but in many cases they are searching also. How do you forget about a part of your soul that is taken away? Adult adoptees & their birth mothers should have access to these records without the hassle & expense of going to court.

This Green Ribbon is part of a campaign to make others aware of those who have died for lack of medical info due to sealed records. For more info on the campaign, click the ribbon  This wreath is in memory of ALL my parents. The ones that loved me enough to give me a chance at life & the ones that loved me enough to raise me. I hope that they have all met as angels.  The candle in the window is for all those lost to the closed records systems in the majority of states. It is also for all the lives lost due to lack of medical information. It will continue to burn untill ALL records are open & no more lives are lost for lack of information.
