On November 3, 1998, the state of Oregon passed the first ballot initiative that makes unconditional access to an adult adoptees' original birth certificate law. Bastard Nation would like to announce a National Adoptee Rights Day to commemorate this historic event. Every year on December 3rd shall be the official Adoptee Rights Day. Every year on that date, adoptees everywhere will celebrate this victory and organize events that will put pressure on other states to finally recognize our civil rights.
