BL> I would like to have a copy of this... I am currently helping a
BL> bmom who had sent in a request after the first law was passed last
BL> year... to exercise her rights to contact her son as to his
BL> consent.... Of course, her letter of request was put on hold because
BL> of the complaints from the adoptive parents trying to block the
BL> law......   I would appreciate any information as well as your
BL> suggestions on recontacting the agency or State so as to persue the
BL> contact to her son.....  I would like to see her make this contact
BL> before any appeals are put into action. Thanks for the information
BL> ...If you can send me the info. at BBLinVA.  I am not on internet so
BL> I cannot download the  information from there.
