If legislation introduced in the
Illinois General Assembly this
Spring becomes law, Illinois
adoptees may begin receiving copies of their original birth certificates as
early as this coming Fall!!!
The proposed legislation, HB 4623, creates a simple, fee-free procedure by which an Illinois adoptee over the age of 21 may request a non-certified copy of his or her original birth certificate.
On March 13, 2008, HB 4623 sailed out of the House Adoption Reform Committee, 8 votes to 1. The bill should come to a vote on the floor of the Illinois House before the end of April. To read more about this exciting giant step forward for Illinois adoptees, click here.
