The Texas Adoptee Rights Coalition is a coalition of state and national organizations with a singular focus: restoring the unrestricted right of all Texas adult adoptees to obtain their own original birth certificates upon request. Each partner in the coalition commits in writing to that bottom line. Coalition partners will not support or consider provisions in OBC-related bills that discriminate against adult adoptees.
