A state law adopted
in September, 2011 has recently taken effect, and on Monday [2 July 2012],
Governor Lincoln Chafee ceremoniously handed birth records to four adoptees, as
dozens more looked on at an auditorium at the Rhode Island Department of
Health.
Details of requesting
a non-certified copy of an adoptee’s pre-adoption birth record can be found at
the State of Rhode
Island Department of Health.
It’s great to hear
about “increased” access to vital records where more stories lately have been
about decreased or non-existent access! Know of any other good news about vital records
access we can share?
