LDAs recognized by the US government
One of the things that has concerned me since I discovered has been the lack of recognition of Late Discovery among adoption professionals. Today as I was googling “Late Discovery” I found this page on the Child Welfare Information Gateway web site:
http://www.childwelfare.gov/adoption/search/latediscovery.cfm
This is heartening. The links provided are few, but they are good (and since this site is linked, I feel in good company). It’s interesting to read the child welfare world’s take on Late Discovery, which seems to minimize the impacts while accurately describing them. Much work to be done with that crowd…

I agree!
The Child Welfare office has been putting out a whole lot of adoptee-rights-movement relevant stuff lately. Have you seen their state-by-state access to information and original birth certificate report?

Hi Amanda,
I noticed the links to the state-by-state access information but haven’t followed them to see how accurate they are.
