Oregon: Joint Bastard Nation/Stop Safe Haven Baby Boxes Now! Emergency Action Alert: Keep Adoptee Rights Safe in Oregon. Stop Safe Haven Baby Boxes Senate Hearing April 17, 2025
Over 25 years ago Ballot Measure 58 restored the right of all Oregon-born adopted persons to obtain their OBCs without restrictions or conditions. Thousands of Oregon adoptees and their biological families have benefited from that measure. Since then, Oregon had led the nation by passing further legislation to secure openness and transparency in its adoption system, access for the adopted and their biological parents to adoption files and courts records, and to dispel overall adoption shame and hypocrisy of the past and into the future. Oregon is by far the gold standard for adoptee equal rights in US. The Oregon adopted automatically expect to be treated with dignity and respect.
This record and reputation is endangered by HB2901, a bill to legalize the use of Safe Haven Baby Boxes sanitized as “newborn safety devices.” A previous bill went nowhere, but HB2901 has already passed the House 50-10 and is now in the Senate Early Childhood Behavioral Health Committee.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday April 17 at 1:00 PM. We need to kill this monster now.

The adoptee voice has been virtually ignored by baby abandonment box promotors who say that adopted people who oppose are “mentally unstable.” Let your voice be heard now and show them who is really unstable.
