LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Sunday about 70 people lined the streets of downtown Louisville for a demonstration about adoptees and their birth rights. Protestors chanted “You've got yours. We want ours.”
The group says the majority of states don't allow adult adoptees the access to their original birth certificates. The group wants the same rights as other Americans, they say.
Claudia Darcey, who participated in the demonstration, says “It's unfair, and it's discrimination, and there's no reason why adult adoptees should be treated differently than anybody else in this United States. All we ask for is that our birth certificates are unsealed and we are allowed access just as anybody else in this country.”
The Adoptee Rights Demonstration picked this weekend to protest because the National Conference of State Legislators is being held at the Convention Center this week.
