'An Adoptee ROARed in Ohio' chronicles how Betsie Norris, an Ohio adoptee and founder of Adoption Network Cleveland, fought for 24 years to provide adult adoptees with access to their original birth certificates. When she began this effort in 1989, unbeknownst to Betsie, her own adoptive father had played a role in sealing records in 1964. After he confessed his actions to her, he battled by her side to reverse the law. Her efforts culminated in the new law that will give 400,000 adoptees access to their birth records starting March 20, 2015.
