Friday, a new state law -- passed last year -- takes effect allowing some 400,000 Ohio adoptees to access their adoption records, including birth certificates.

We'll talk with adoptees, birth parents, and those who helped enact this law.Betsie Norris, Executive Director, Adoption Network of Cleveland
