  14. Dear Candidates,
  15. This is a follow up email. I'm raising awareness about the violation against adoptees of their Due Process rights, Equal Protection rights, and UNCRC rights to identity. Would you support a bill that would restore their rights?
  16. Please let me know your position!
  17. Regards,
  18. Ryan

  21. Dear All Candidates for Minnesota House of Representatives,
  22.

  24. Closed adoption laws that seal original birth certificates of adopted people in confidentiality, thus severing ties between family members, constitute a clear violation of widely accepted international law -- the human right to identity -- and this injustice should be corrected by the Minnesota legislature immediately.

  27. Many politicians claim that allowing adopted people access to their original birth certificate is a controversial issue, yet the UNCRC treaty shows overwhelming consensus for the right to identity as a basic human right; the UNCRC is the most widely ratified international treaty in history.

  31. I've included links below to my blog where I outline that basic civil rights of Due Process and Equal Protection are also violated because of adoption-related laws.
  32.  
  33.  
  34. As a candidate for Minnesota House of Representatives, would you please stand up for these rights and support a bill that would overhaul closed adoption laws?

  77. P.S. I was adopted as a child in Minnesota. I have teamed with other adopted people to raise awareness about this issue, and to correct this injustice.
