Some suggested messages for your "I Vote!" postcard

 ALL POSTCARDS NEED TO CONTAIN A FEW ESSENTIAL POINTS;

1. Who you are. I.E. I'm an adoptee, I'm a mother, I'm a concerned citizen.

2.What you want. I.E. I want open adoption legislation, I want unrestricted access to my original birth ceritficate. I want open adoption records. ( All of these, however, you write this, indicates that you see a need for and want CHANGE)

3. The fact that you vote. Write I VOTE! I'm an active voter etc.

4. Sign your postcard. Individual names indicate that multiple people are sending  these messages out. 

While we can't dictate what you say on your postcard, we suggest a simple, clear message to your legislator.

 If you are an adopted person, your message might be something like the following:

I am an adoptee with no access to my birth record.

I supprt open records for ALL people.

I Vote!

 If you are a person who lost a child to adoption, your message might be something like:

I lost a child to adoption.  

My child has no access to his/her birth record.

I supprt open records for ALL people.

I Vote!

If you are not a natural parent or a person who was adopted, your message might be something like:

I am interested in those who have suffered because of 

the secrecy in adoption.

I support open records for ALL people.

I Vote!
