How Can I Help Adoptees?

Here are some ways you can help adoptees gain their civil rights.

• Join Bastard Nation
  Bastard Nation is dedicated to the recognition of the full human and civil rights of adult adoptees. BN advocates the opening to adoptees, upon request at age of majority, of those government documents which pertain to the adoptee's historical, genetic, and legal identity, including the unaltered original birth certificate and adoption decree.



• Visit the Bastard Boutique
  The Bastard Nation Boutique is where the best-dressed Bastards shop to support Open Records for Adult Adoptees. All profits from sales of BNB merchandise go to Bastard Nation's efforts to spread the word of adoptee dignity and to getting legislation passed for open records for adult adoptees.



• Donate to the Who's Next? Fund
  The Who's Next Fund is a non-profit charity which provides funding to adoptee rights efforts backed by supporters who are committed to unconditional access for adult adoptees to the state-held records of their births and adoptions.
