Subject: H3775: Please Vote No
Dear Honorable Senator:
House Bill 3775 may come before you for vote today. Although I appreciate Representative Patsy Knight’s efforts and willingness to introduce a bill that at first provided adult adoptees’ with rights to obtain their own original birth certificates, I cannot support the current amended version of H3775. I ask you to vote No on the bill.
The bill creates a complicated and ultimately expensive tiered system of access where adoptees are treated differently according to the date of an adoption. States that have tried this approach have quickly realized that it only creates an expensive and bureaucratic system that preserves and promotes inequality.
Please view all South Carolina born citizens as equal and deserving of the same legal considerations and constitutional rights as all other persons. Please vote No on H.3775.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and service.
