This article examines proposed Massachusetts legislation that would provide adopted people born in that state with "a copy of their original birth certificate, with the names of their birth mother and birth father, when they turn 18. Their adopted parents could ask for the copy if the adoptee were still a minor." (PATRIOT LEDGER) The key points for and against the legislation are presented and the case histories of several adoptees are included.
