Current Status

There was an introductory 'work group' meeting earlier today with Rep Doherty and several stakeholders in adoption- the room was packed!
Much was discussed regarding the future of Oregon adoption law reform.

As for now...

The bill is dead for THIS legislative session, and most likely the next session.

The proposed amendment introducing a 10 day revocation period (in which birth mothers can change their minds about consent) into current law is dead, for THIS legislative session and most likely the next session.

What amendment? What did it say?

What happens next?
Do i need to stay involved and informed if I feel passionate about Oregon adoption law? YES

More details and answers to these questions soon to come.

Thank you to ALL- supporters and those in opposition of the bill, for making your voices heard to the representatives. EVERYONE'S VOICE COUNTS!
