As individuals adopted through Dillon, we are deeply concerned about the lack of accountability and transparency surrounding our adoption files. It is crucial that we come together as a community to demand change and ensure that Dillon takes responsibility for their actions.

7,000 individuals were adopted through Dillon from a dozen different countries. We deserve FREE access to our own files.

Dillon currently imposes a $50 fee to access our own adoption files, which is both unfair and burdensome. We should not be forced to buy back vital information about our identity, medical history, or potential connections with our families. We believe that this fee should be removed immediately to ensure equal access to our records.

Furthermore, Dillon has failed to seek feedback or to include us in the process of the management of our information. It is essential that we have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions with Dillon's Board of Directors regarding a long-term plan for accountability. By scheduling meetings between the board members and those of us who were adopted through Dillon, we can establish open lines of communication and work towards accountability and transparency.

Lastly, it is imperative that every person adopted through Dillon receives their complete adoption file along with all relevant information pertaining to their background. This includes medical records, family history, birth certificates (if available), and any other documentation related to our adoptions. It is our right as adoptees to have full access to these files without any unnecessary delays or restrictions.

We understand that managing adoption records can be complex; however, it is essential for organizations like Dillon to prioritize the rights and well-being of adoption survivors above all else. By ensuring transparency in the process and removing barriers such as fees for accessing our own files, we can create a more inclusive environment where every adoption survivor feels supported and empowered.

We urge Dillon to take immediate action by:

1. Removing the $50 fee required to access our adoption files.

2. Scheduling meetings between Dillon's Board of Directors and adoptees to discuss a long-term plan for accountability.

3. Guaranteeing that every person adopted through Dillon receives their complete adoption file and all relevant information without unnecessary delays or restrictions.

By signing this petition, we are demanding that Dillon takes responsibility for its actions and prioritizes the rights of adoptees. Together, we can create a more transparent and accountable system that respects the dignity and well-being of every individual who was adopted through Dillon.
