It's exciting that this is happening today and you have provided a way to deep up with what's happening.
I was picking up my sons' new birth certificates yesterday (since my husband adopted them), and I commented to the woman in Vital Records, "It's amazing how important this little piece of paper is..." and she fully agreed.
Thank you so much for posting this! it is absolutely time for adoptive parents to get behind this issue and support our children's right to access their original birth certificates!
