Tweet to Arizona State Senators
Despite our best efforts, the Arizona Senate on June 24 passed SB1831 by a vote of 17-13, nearly entirely on party lines. The bill actually garnered less support this time then when an identical bill passed earlier in the session. This action alert is no longer active.

Endorse a Joint Letter in Opposition
This call to action is now complete. Thank you to everyone who endorsed the letter. It was delivered to all 90 Arizona legislators, and you can find more information about it here.
Background: Two new bills have been introduced late in the 2021 Arizona legislative session. If enacted, the bills will create a new “donut-hole” in the state, prohibiting Arizona-born adopted people born between June 1968 and January 2022 from requesting and obtaining their own original birth certificate. While Arizona Governor Doug Ducey vetoed an identical less than a month ago, a hyperpartisan Arizona legislature has introduced new bills to get around the veto.
Final Joint Letter
RE: NO on SB1831/HB2921
To All Arizona State Senators and Representatives:
We are Arizona-born adoptees, Arizona residents, birthparents, adoptive parents, and allies for adoptee rights. Along with the following state and national adoptee rights and adoption-reform organizations, we oppose SB1831 and HB2921. These bills will arbitrarily divide Arizona-born adoptees into two unequal classes, based solely on an adopted person’s date of birth.
Despite a vastly overstated fiscal cost of more than $3 million over the next ten years, the bills will ultimately benefit a tiny number of adopted people—while denying the vast majority of Arizona-born adoptees the right to obtain their own original birth certificates. These bills are costly, discriminatory, and regressive. They do not represent the best interests of adopted people, their families, or the thousands of Arizona constituents impacted by adoption.
We ask that you do not support these bills and vote NO on SB1831 and HB2921.
