Zackary was born two months premature, and weighed only two pounds at birth. We have since nursed this child from near death, and regarded him for all intents and purposes as our own son. However, for the State of Tennessee to now retroactively rescind the protections afforded us when we decided to adopt this child, causes us great concern, and poses a direct threat to our family's privacy. Given the limited amount of information which we have about the. birth parents of this child, we are most concerned about the prospect of Zackary's parents now gaining access to our adoption files. For the reasons stated herein, as well as those contained in the Memorandum of Law filed herein by our attorneys, we respectfully urge this Court to prevent this amendment in the Tennessee adoption law from taking effect on July 1, 1996.
Further affiants saith naught.
We declare, under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in this affidavit is true and correct to the best of our information, knowledge. and belief.
