Good News About Open Adoption Records

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) June 25, 2009

Birth Parents and adoptees take notice; open adoption records may be coming to a place near you, it was announced by OmniTrace – The People Search Experts, a leading provider of birth parent and adoptee search services. “The state of Colorado will open adoption records for a large number of adoptees beginning June 29th, which adds to a growing list of states that are already open,” stated Chris Maione, a birth parent search expert with OmniTrace Corp.

In fact, there are several states where open adoption records are already available–i.e., an adult adoptee can obtain an original birth certificate, and sometimes, additional adoption records. Alabama, Delaware, Michigan, Kansas, Ohio, Oregon, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Alaska, Tennessee and Montana all have open or partially open records.

“The great news is that other states such as New York, New Jersey and California all have pending legislation in regards to open adoption records,” Chris Maione continued. “The momentum is really on our side.”

Be aware, however, that obtaining open adoption records is only a first step in finding an adoptees’ birth parents. “Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of how to navigate the system and sometimes daunting paperwork is required to receive the information,” stated Chris.

Adoptees conducting a birth parent search in an open adoption records state, need to request their records. When assistance is needed, companies such as OmniTrace Corp. work with adoptees to help retrieve this information. After obtaining their adoption records, adoptees will likely have their birth mother’s maiden name and perhaps an old address. Now they will need to obtain the birth mother’s current name and current address information. This might be difficult, as the birth mother has likely undergone a name change (perhaps several times), and she may not reside in the state where the adoptee was born.

OmniTrace estimates it has reunited more adopted people with their birth parents than all other professional search companies combined, according to their management. “Our database capabilities and genealogical expertise allow us to find birth parents and adoptees anywhere. We also provide free search consultations and we have established a free resource site The Search Advisor to answer any questions an adoptee might have about their search,” according to Chris Maione.

Access to Pre-K Education Good, But Not Good Enough – Fifteen States Increase Budgets for Early Childhood Education for FY’05 School Year

Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 19, 2004

Support for early childhood education programs is on the rise in fifteen states that increased funding for pre-k programs by $ 205 million according to a new legislative report, released today by The Trust for Early Education (TEE), a project of The Pew Charitable Trusts and other funders. “Quality Pre-Kindergarten for All: State Legislative Report” analyzes 2005 state fiscal year budgets and found that even in tough financial times, many states reached bipartisan consensus and allocated resources needed to prepare their youngest constituents to succeed in school.

Unfortunately, the report also shows that almost half of the nation’s states flat funded or actually decreased expenditures on existing early childhood education opportunities for three and four year olds.

“Our report shows that more children than ever are attending pre-k classes, yet still too many are being left behind,” said Libby Doggett, Executive Director of the Trust for Early Education. “Scientific evidence clearly shows that the quality of a pre-kindergartener’s learning environment and social experiences lays the foundation for successes in K-12 and the rest of the child’s life.”

Additional report findings include:

Successes:

Fifteen states increased spending on pre-kindergarten, making the program available to an estimated 60,000 more three and four year olds in the upcoming year—a 17 percent increase over the 353,000 children attending pre-kindergarten in 2001: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

A number of states, including Massachusetts and Indiana, advanced the development of pre-kindergarten programs without major budgetary commitments.

Disappointments:

Seventeen states maintained current funding levels, which amounts to a decrease in real spending due to inflation: Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas and Vermont.

Seven states decreased their funding for pre-kindergarten: Louisiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, South Carolina, Washington and West Virginia.

Ten states currently do not provide state-funded pre-kindergarten: Alaska, Idaho, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.

“This report demonstrates that even in times of economic deficits select state leaders understand that when children attend pre-kindergarten they have a better chance of succeeding in school and in life,” said Sue Urahn, director of Policy Initiatives and Education at The Pew Charitable Trusts. “For every dollar states invest in pre-kindergarten, they save between four and eight dollars in future costs of remedial classes, special education, welfare and expenses associated with juvenile crime.”

Read the “Quality Pre-Kindergarten for All: State Legislative Report” report.

The Trust for Early Education is a project of The Pew Charitable Trusts and other funders to advance quality pre-kindergarten for all children.
