Indiana to open their adoption records July 1st

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,
