Greg talks with Chelsey, a US-born adult adopted person who for years has been seeking to end her own adoption, and for good reason. They discuss her story and reasons, the various legal issues surrounding the rescission of an adoption, and the ongoing Adoptees United project that has led to a definition of terms and to a draft model bill that would establish a right as an adult to end your own adoption.
More information about the Rescission Project and its collective efforts are on Adoptees United. Greg's prior overview of the issue is on his law firm website, though efforts have progressed since he published the initial post a few years ago.
