Sara as an Illinois State Representative fought 14 years (1996-2010) to have the adoption law changed in her state granting adoptees the right to request their original birth certificate. Sara is featured in the Jean Strauss film, A Simple Piece of Paper http://www.vimeo.com/channels/adopteefilmchannel (www.vimeo.com/channels/adopteefilmchannel) As an adoptee herself, she advocates on behalf of all members of the constellation for adoption reform.
