Adoptees born in Ohio are finally adults

If you were adopted in Ohio between January 1964 and September 1996 you were part of a special class of citizens denied your birth records, even if living in another state--unless you could prove you were an American Indian or you had connections to someone in vital statistics who could do the search for you. Governor Kasich signed Senate Bill 23 in December. Imagine being 50 years old (1964) and your state deciding you were still an adopted baby, unable to know the truth about your fake birth certificate. I believe Ohio Right to Life was very, very wrong to fight this for 40 years even as they fight for the right to live of the unborn.
