This excerpt from Pam’s testimony to the NJ Assembly on June 14, 2010, addresses the issue expressed by the opposition that birth parents were guaranteed privacy, either statutorily or by expectation, from the children they gave birth to and the adoptive parents. As Pam poignantly articulates in her testimony, it is clear upon examination of the law that a birth parent's right to life-long anonymity from their son or daughter was never a part of New Jersey policy.

This clip is a must see for anyone trying to understand what current state policies are and why they were enacted in the first place.
