As an adoptee, I think it does. The reason is because the right to privacy laws of Indiana and the constitution itself treats us separately. It could also be said for Illinois since their laws are similar to Indiana.
What is Brown vs. Board of Education? It was the Supreme Court decision essentially banning all segregation in the United States. This case originated in Kansas but several cases in other states were brought forward at the same time.
Their decision:
"...that in the field of public education the doctrine of separate but equal has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal...therefore plaintiffs and others...are deprived of the equal protection of the law guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution."
Adoptees and their families are being deprived of their equal protection. In the laws as well, we are giving special immunities and privileges to the adoption industry as a whole. Its time to change it.
