In the latest episode of the Adoptees United What Next podcast, Greg talks with Chelsey, a US-born adult adopted person who for years has been seeking to end her own adoption, and for good reason.
They discuss her story and reasons, what rescission means legally and to her, and the ongoing project that has led to a definition of terms and to a draft model bill to establish a right as an adult to end your own adoption. You can listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.
More information about the Rescission Project and its collective efforts are on Adoptees United. Greg’s prior overview of the issue is on his Adoptee Rights Law website, though efforts have progressed since he published the initial post a few years ago.
