May 13, 2025 Governor Brian Kemp Signs SB100 “Andee’s Law,” Ending Decades of Discrimination Against Georgia Adoptees ATLANTA, GA — In a landmark moment for adoptee rights, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed SB100 “Andee’s Law” into law today at the Georgia State Capitol, reversing more than six decades of sealed records and restoring a fundamental right to Georgia-born adopted people. For 64 years, adult adoptees in Georgia were denied access to their own original birth certificates—a policy widely recognized as discriminatory and unjust. With today’s historic signing, that policy has come to an end. Beginning July 1, 2025, Georgia-born adoptees aged 18 and older will be able to apply for and receive a copy of their original, pre-adoption birth certificate directly from the Georgia State Office of Vital Records—no court order required. The Georgia Alliance for Adoptee Rights (GAAR), which has tirelessly advocated for this legislation, applauds the bipartisan support behind SB100 and the Governor’s commitment to adoptee equality. GAAR will provide additional information and guidance about the application process in the coming weeks to help adoptees prepare for this long-awaited opportunity.
