SB 381 - Wahab passed the Senate this morning. 35-0. Myself and Lori Schultz were in the Capitol building and watched it happen!
In this world of political divide, I found it heartwarming that our Author, Senator Wahab is a Democrat and the first person on the floor to speak in favor was Republican Shannon Grove!
Thank you for signing and sharing the petition, making phone calls, joining California Alliance for Adoptee Rights, coming to the hearings last week! It all has made a tremendous difference!
What happens next?
It moves on to the Assembly. It will be months before it gets voted on by committees - the entire 80 person Assembly.
In the meantime, we educate. We gather coauthors! We build on our grassroots momentum!
By the way, wouldn't it be cool if the same day it passed the Senate, we had 2,000 signatures?!!!!! Only 11 more to go!
The emotion surrounding this bill are profound.
Paul
