We hope this clears up any misunderstanding about birth parent confidentiality. @cthouserules @CTSenateGOP @CTHouseDems @CTSenateDems xitter.cf/AccessCT/status/983479…
Be like @SenatorKissel whom we are grateful for his thoughtful consideration over the years to end up supporting and championing equality. #LegislatorsWithCourage #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz xitter.cf/AccessCT/status/981982…
When legislators work on getting updated policies in place, it reflects their commitment to making sure laws are modern, relevant and fair. Please join us in thanking @SenatorKissel for doing this very thing yesterday. We are deeply appreciative of his support on @HB5408!
Opposition is strong. Sill pedaling a ridiculous bill to "study the option of implementing an adoption registry" -- which we not only have had for almost 40 years but is also has a negative fiscal note and would be a complete waste of government resources. #ctleg
A beautiful day in Hartford today! We are looking forward to seeing great courage from #CTLeg leadership today. @HB5408 is the win you're looking for. 49 bi-partisan co-sponsors, TWO committee approvals. Let's go. @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz #CallTheBill5408
Our 49th Co-sponsor signing on to be on the right side of history!!! Thank you Hilda Santiago (D- Meriden). #CallTheBill5408 housedems.ct.gov/SantiagoH
Yup. Until 1975, CT adoptees had access to their original birth certificates. #CallTheBill1975 xitter.cf/AccessCT/status/994129…
Time for Connecticut to join the ranks of a fair and equal policy for all adult adopted persons. #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz xitter.cf/AccessCT/status/994084…
Remember when all these states enacted a law like @HB5408 and the world didn't end? We do. People lived on and managed their lives like the adults they are. #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz
25% of all public testimonies were birth mothers who support this bill, including @CUBirthparents. Fear not, this is a solid pro-women bill! #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz xitter.cf/AccessCT/status/994079…
S/O to our female co-sponsors on both sides of aisle! Make no mistake, this is a pro-women bill. 19,000 women adoptees agree

It's time, Connecticut! End the discrimination. Give adult adoptees access to their Original Birth Certificate. #CallTheBill5408
We believe in you @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz @WilliamTongCT @rolandlemar @SteveStafstrom. You can champion equality TONIGHT. #CallTheBill5408 xitter.cf/accessct/status/994024…
We believe great people become legislators b/c they truly want to make a difference. They want to update & modernize policies & ultimately do as much as they can to make positive change. @CTHouseDems @cthouserules, you CAN champion equality TONIGHT. Pass @HB5408 #CallTheBill5408
Don't be fooled! Opposition is trying to pass an amendment that IS ALREADY THE LAW! Adoption registries already exist and have for 30 years. These registries have failed adoptees. Here's the JF. cga.ct.gov/2018/JFR/h/2018HB… @HB5408 #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz
Still time to put Connecticut on the right side of history. Openness and truth in adoption is a national trend. #CallTheBill5408 xitter.cf/idesiree1/status/99399…
No one will die if you take up @HB5408...but people WILL die if you don't. It's time to enact a fair and consistent policy for adult adoptees. @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz #CallTheBill5408 #CTleg
Time to take care of the last class of adult adoptees in our state. No more secrets. Let's go. #CallTheBill5408 @HB5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz

One-third of the House has co-sponsored @HB5408. Two committees passed it. Hundreds of constituents have come forward including prof. orgs @CSMSNews @CTBar @adoptionandart @CUBirthparents @nasw @CTUCC...all strong supporters. It's time. Let's go. @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz
The only confidentially birth parents could have been promised was from the public, not from their own adult children. Why? Because until 1975 the law was adult adoptees had access to their original birth certificates. accessconnecticut.org/histor…
Now at 48 co-sponsors, @HB5408 has extraordinary bi-partisan support and a terrific champion in @SteveCassano, 200+ testimonies. Approved by JUD and APP. We're ready to see one fair and consistent policy treating all adult adoptees equally this year @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz
Tremendous bi-partisan support. 46 co-sponsors and counting. 200+ testimonies. Approved by JUD and APP. We're ready to see one fair and consistent policy treating all adult adoptees equally this year. @MattRitter308 @jaresimowi @WilliamTongCT @RepTKlarides
DNA is outpacing the law. Birth parents are being identified on DNA whether they've tested or not. We need to protect what is left of CT birth parents' privacy! Pass @HB5408! @cthouserules xitter.cf/AccessCT/status/991498…
WOW. This DNA Detectives group on facebook has over 87,000 members and is finding birth parents for adoptees- sometimes in a matter of mins! @HB5408 is the MOST private option for birth parents. facebook.com/groups/DNADetec…
