Millions of us are connected to adoption. This is personal to me, to you, and to all of us. We are asking New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to veto A5036B, a bill that discriminates against adult adoptees and continues to punish them by keeping their birth certificates a secret. If you are connected to adoption in any way, ask that Governor Cuomo do the right thing: #VetoA5036B.
