Indiana is set to open their adoption records
on July 1st, and this will be of particular interest to our Native
American community. As you may know, over a million children were routed
through Chicago between 1950-1970 and many of them ended up in Indiana,
having been placed in non-Native foster and adoption
settings.
Please let your readers know there will be a conference open
to everyone that will assist people in filling out the forms to request
their birth information, hosted by the Indiana
Adoptee Network http://indianaadopteenetwork.org/. Needless to say, we are counting the days so that hopefully many of the American Indians/Native Americans living here will be able to find their
rightful families and reconnect with their culture and heritage.
Thank you,
