Adoptees - the time has come for us to take the lead in the issue which most impacts us, and over which we had no decision. Come out of the closet and don't be ashamed that you are adopted. Knowledge is power. Conviction and self-respect form the armor which will protect us from the lies thrown into the fray by our enemies and the ignorant ones who are manipulated by them. Education and outreach are the swords with which we can cut down the briar of secrets and lies set up by who fear the truth and profit from lies.
Defeatism is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
We are not children. We are not second-class citizens. We are not shameful. Real open records is reasonable. It's our job to make it happen the right way.
