Access Massachusetts
An Act granting equal access to original birth certificate to all persons born in Massachusetts has been engrossed and enacted by the House and Senate. We now await the Governor's signature. All adoptees born in MA, regardless of date of birth, will soon have access to their own original birth certificates! We extend endless thanks to everyone who has worked to make this happen, but especially to our sponsors, Senator Anne Gobi, Representative Sean Garballey, and Representative Kate Hogan. Click here to read the bills' history during this session.
