every 1,000 live births. That is a sad statistic. However in Kansas, there is only 164 per every 1,000. I think that is saying something right there. In 1997 HB126 was defeated in the house 73 to 78 votes. As written, this bill would have eliminated the requirement that adult adoptees receive written permission from their adoptive parents before they can search for their biological parents. It was not an open records bill. There has never been an open records bill presented before the house. That is ridiculous. There will never be Open Records if we dont fight for them. This issue is very close to my heart, and I will fight for Open Records!...
