This newly written bill allows at age 21 adoptees their OBC upon request. PLEASE take the time to READ the entire bill. I want to request that those who live in MO find out WHO your reps and senators are, then commit to emailing or writing or calling at least 2 times a month. They each keep a file of the communications they receive. Please keep it simple and positive. Ask them to support the bill. Please respect their time as they are quite busy. This is an election year and many are at term limits. Please know Rep Davis 'gets' our cause and she will work very hard to get this passed. I also spoke with House Speaker Ron Richard's office today and asked that he refer this bill to committee as soon as the session starts. Jan 6th is the start. Please request this also. You will find the info at http://house.mo.gov/ Thank you for all of your time. WE need your support. Lets make this happen this year Carolyn Pooler Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
