OBC FOR MEMISSIONOriginal Birth Certificates for Maine (OBC for ME), is a grassroots group of Maine adoptees, parents of origin and adoptive parents. OBC for ME succeeded in its initial mission to pass legislation (LD 1084 /PL 409) granting adult adoptees access to their OBC upon request, while empowering parents of origin the choice to indicate whether or not they wish to be contacted. This basic human/civil right has been restored to all Maine-born adoptees, just as all non-adopted Maine-born citizens have always had, for the same fee and without parental permission. Our NEW mission is (1) to help Maine Vital Records with the implementation process, (2) to invite the public and private adoption related agencies in Maine to join us in increasing the number of adoption triad support groups in Maine and (3) to publicize this historic event around the world via all forms of media, over the 18 months prior to January 1, 2009, the effective date of PL 409.
