As the chairwoman of a Non-profit organization the NC Coalition for Adoption Reform, I have personally been at the task of trying to reform NC's adoption law for the past 8 going on 9 years.
There is so much of the pomp and circumstance which goes on in the NC legislature. If they ever stopped to look at the way they do things, they would realize there are more effecient ways of doing government.
It is a wonder that anything gets accomplished in our State government.
During the House Judiciary I committee meeting on Tuesday May 1, 2007 during the hearing of HB445 -Access to Information for Adult Adoptees, which honorable Representative was caught in 'snooze' mode?
The honorable Representative from Wake County (Paul Stam). He and others were very rude, walking out while birthmothers gave testimony regarding the confidentiality they were never promised, did not want and do not want now.
However these are the Representatives we as a member of society have voted in to pass laws for us. It is a wonder that any laws get passed in the House. But I have to ask, even if they do get passed, how many of our Representatives were asleep at the 'vote'?
