Why Chicago? Why the NCSL?

The National Conference of State Legislatures is the largest grouping of state legislators at any one given time. It's the national organization of STATE LAWMAKERS, the people who DECIDE whether you may access your original birth certificate… OR NOT.

The Exhibitors Booth in the NCSL convention center allows us to talk about adoption laws to legislators from every state. The NCSL Legislative Summit is the largest and most important meeting of the year for legislators and legislative staff and is highly attended. It is here where we enlighten lawmakers about achieving equal rights for adoptees. After the Demonstration, The ARC spends the following three days, August 7th, 8th and 9th, in the Exhibition Hall at McCormick Place in Chicago working directly with legislators and staff so they may become aware and educated about the need for Adoptee Rights legislation in their home states.

It's National Adoption Awareness Month?

We are aware. Are you? 

We've all seen the advertisements/public service announcements for National Adoption Month. Are you aware that this was originally conceived to promote foster care adoption of older children? Are you aware that it's promotion is now heavily funded by agencies facilitating the adoption of infants under one year of age?  (average cost to the adoptive parents exceeding $30,000)

Something these ad sponsors won't tell you is that in all but six states, the adopted person's original birth certificate will be sealed from their inspection FOREVER.
