The legislation that we're here to discuss is House Bill 162, which has been introduced by the good gentleman from Center County, Representative Kerry Benninghoff.

November 2017, I'm sitting in my office.

I was at USC, and I just said, man, I wonder what's going on with this adoption paper.

It just hit me that day.

And then when I got home, I'm just going through the mail, and it was there.

I got it right here.

It was there.

So the top of it, it says non-certified, I mean, non-certified copy of original birth record, date of birth, December 1st, 1972.

It has the date that it was issued in November, 2017.

And then it says, name given at birth, John Kenneth Briggs.

Sex, male, place of birth, Allegheny County.

Parent, Carol Denise Briggs.

I'm age 16.

I got a message on my phone saying, message read.

So my heart was like, oh, shoot.

Started beating like, oh, beating crazy.

And she messaged back, yes.

So I was in a meeting at that time and I got up and walked out of the meeting.

So I said, what did you name the baby?

And she said, John.
