Heres an interesting adoption story from Oklahoma ...
Energized by being told a grandfather had been willing to adopt her, an Oklahoma woman told a legislative panel Tuesday she overcame feelings of being rejected and spent 30 years trying to find her birth parents.
Rhonda Noonan said she also was intrigued because she was told one of her birth grandparents was famous.
Noonan, 55, said she overcame various obstacles to getting her birth certificate and finally obtained information that allowed her to find her birth mother in 2008.

I think that one voice doesn't make a change, but continued requests proves that there is an interest/need. Changes have been made because adoptees have made noise. Can the descendants of adoptees make noise and be heard?
