This could be a good thing: ASSEMBLY BILL RE-ESTABLISHES CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS FOR ADULT ADOPTEES. The face of adoption has certainly changed since I was born in a home for unwed mothers, then adopted through a very closed procedure that denied me anything more than basic info. Today the birthparents and adoptive parents often meet, which is both very scary and very sweet. It opens up a greater margin of changed minds and second-guessing but also gives everyone involved a clear picture of what's going on. Still, I can't imagine my parents housing my birthmom while waiting for my arrival, let alone being present in the delivery room. 4 years after I found her, they're still not ready to meet her. That's just the way things were then and still are for our family.
