I think this bill is a step in the right direction for adoption information. It's important for individuals to have access to their background and medical history. This could have a positive impact on families and children in the long run.

This new bill about adoption info is so bad. It makes it harder for parents like me to find out important stuff about our kids' background. Why would they do this? It's not fair to us. This bill is gonna hurt families who just want to know more about where their kids come from. It's not right. #unfair #HRBill215 #adoptioninfo #families
