Millions of adoptees across America have been denied a copy of their orginial Birth Certificate by an archaic law that has been in effect for the past 75 years. This law has created ANCESTRICIDE for Millions of Adoptees which not only affect them, but their children and their children’s children. This is a disgrace in a free country that an adult individual cannot have access to their own Birth Certificate.

Yeah, like you haven’t read this here before.  I know.. just go do it, mmmkay?
