ATTENTION ALL THOSE THAT ARE TIRED OF ADOPTEES BEING TOLD THAT WE DON"T HAVE 
A RIGHT TO KNOW - THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BE HEARD!  This coming September the 
Adoption Law Reform Committee (ALRC) will finally be holding an open hearing 
in both Tulsa and Oklahoma City giving the members of the Triad (and any 
other Tom, Dicks and Harrys) a chance to be heard.  I am busy rounding up 
both adoptees and birthparents that are willing to speak and come forth with 
the issues at this meeting.  IT IS IMPERATIVE that we show in force. Even if 
you are NOT going to speak, show up.  The numbers are what impress this 
board, not always what we say.  The ALRC is currently not going to open any 
records for adoptees and they are even wanting to make it harder for judges 
to unseal records for medical needs. They may make it to where you can only 
obtain information if you are Native American and the tribal council requests 
the information. However, (here is the catch 22 - the Bermuda Triangle) the 
tribal council does not feel they should have to be the ones that request the 
info, they feel the adoptee should request it from the judge. I have spoken 
with both Winslow and Hubbard and they want the tribes to request it.  I am 
meeting with the Cherokee Tribe to see what we can do.  But back to the 
hearing - anyone that is interested in speaking to plead their own personal 
case or plead in general, please contact me at 102353.1006@compuserve.com or 
918-745-1876. ASAP - I am busy working on this night and day!
