FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Governor Brian Kemp Signs SB100 “Andee’s Law,” Ending Decades of Discrimination Against Georgia Adoptees

ATLANTA, GA — In a landmark moment for adoptee rights, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed SB100 “Andee’s Law” into law today at the Georgia State Capitol, reversing more than six decades of sealed records and restoring a fundamental right to Georgia-born adopted people.

For 64 years, adult adoptees in Georgia were denied access to their own original birth certificates—a policy widely recognized as discriminatory and unjust. With today’s historic signing, that policy has come to an end.

Beginning July 1, 2025, Georgia-born adoptees aged 18 and older will be able to apply for and receive a copy of their original, pre-adoption birth certificate directly from the Georgia State Office of Vital Records—no court order required.

The Georgia Alliance for Adoptee Rights (GAAR), which has tirelessly advocated for this legislation, applauds the bipartisan support behind SB100 and the Governor’s commitment to adoptee equality.

GAAR will provide additional information and guidance about the application process in the coming weeks to help adoptees prepare for this long-awaited opportunity.

Victorious! I saw this really cool auction lot, an old footlocker full of goodies. I was able to locate the great granddaughter of the soldier it belonged to and bring it to her attention. They did not live locally, and I figured they would at least like to see the stuff. This was several months ago and today I got a message from the great granddaughter, letting me know that her father won the auction and now has his grandfather’s trunk, uniform, and other goodies. Surprised that anyone would want to take the time to try to do something nice for a stranger. I’m so glad that this stuff found its way home!

The last few weeks, I, along with a handful of other volunteers, have been assisting Hawaii in locating people who had been reported missing following the fires in and around Lahaina. It has been simply heartbreaking, but in the past few minutes I was able to locate another person who I’m happy to report is safe. It is happening less often these last several days, but I hold,out hope we will find more of them. Please keep those who are still listed as missing, and their families in your thoughts.
