Maryland Laws affecting adoptees : HB1039 Overwhelmingly Passes Full House
READ HERE
The Maryland House of Delegates overwhelmingly passed HB1039 on March
11, sending the equal rights bill to the Senate for final
consideration.
The vote, initially reported as 130-8, became official later at
131-7. Two delegates who are adopted spoke strongly in favor of the
bill: Republican April Rose of Carroll County and Delegate Courtney
Watson, Democrat of Howard County. HB1039 is sponsored by Republican
Michael Malone, and it has now moved to the Senate, where its companion
bill is already under consideration in the Judicial Proceedings
Committee. Senator Susan Lee is the sponsor of the Senate bill.
“We are pleased that the overall response from our legislators has
been positive and very supportive,” said Susie Stricker, the founder of
Maryland Adoptee Rights, a member of the Capitol Coalition for Adoptee
Rights. “We have cleared a huge hurdle, but need to keep the momentum
moving forward by urging our lawmakers to vote for the HB1039 as it is
written and keeps it equal.”
“Moving this legislation along has been a dream of mine for over 10
years,” said Peggy Klappenberger, a Maryland adoptee and advocate with
Maryland Adoptee Rights. “To be sitting where we are today is surreal,
and I know it couldn’t have happened without Susie Stricker and all the
hard work she put in to get this bill written and into both chambers. It
also wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the adoptee
community both nationally and here in Maryland. Everyone has been
amazing.”

ADOPTION TRUTH
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.”
The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
