Adoptee Birth Certificate Requests Soar After Change In Law

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

The number of adopted Hoosiers seeking information from the state about their birth parents has more than quadrupled since a new law took effect last year, opening access to the records.

“We’ve received 4,211 requests for adoption records since June 1, 2018,” according to Indiana Department of Health spokeswoman Megan Wade-Taxter. That compares to past annual totals of 953 in 2017 and 916 requests in 2016.

The surge in requests for adoption records can be traced to a law that took effect last year. Senate Enrolled Act 91 permits people born in Indiana and adopted between 1941 and 1993 to obtain their birth certificates and medical records. Those records previously were closed to adoptees who requested them.

Wade-Taxter said the surge in requests for records began after the bill was signed into law but before it took effect July 1. Requests for information continue to far outpace prior years, she said.

The health department now provides those records unless the biological mother files a written form objecting to release of the information. Wade-Taxter said the department does not track the number of birth mothers who file the form denying the release of information to adoptees, nor does the department track the number of requests for records from adoptees that cannot be honored. The surge in requests for information also has led to a lag in the time it takes the department to reply to adoptees seeking their records. Processing the requests in some cases has taken several months.

“We began seeing an increase in requests in June, as adoptees knew the turnaround time was several weeks, so their request, even if submitted in June, would not be processed until after the law took effect,” Wade-Texter said in an email.

EVSC School Board Approves Innovative RAMP Initiative

EVSC School Board Approves Innovative RAMP Initiative

Yesterday (April 8), the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation School Board approved a first-of-its-kind comprehensive work-based learning program in Indiana that completely embeds high school students within an Evansville-based industry. RAMP, Real-World Application; Maximizing Potential, is a program through EVSC’s OptIN, in partnership with AmeriQual, where students will work side-by-side with industry experts to acquire manufacturing skills that they can use, upon graduation, to acquire a high-wage, high-demand career.

“The collaboration between OptIN and AmeriQual to establish RAMP is truly an innovation in education. It creates an unprecedented learning environment that will increase student hope, engagement, and success,” said EVSC Superintendent David Smith. “RAMP will empower students to be successful by teaching not only traditional subject matter, but also provide transferable skills such as the ability to collaborate, think critically, problem solve, communicate effectively and demonstrate ethical practices. All of which are highly sought after by employers.”

Beginning this fall, students in RAMP will work and attend class on the AmeriQual campus on Highway 41 in Evansville. The classroom will be a hybrid where teachers will meet students where they are on the path to graduation. The students’ day will be split between four hours of on-the-job work and four hours of classroom time. This experience will provide students with an opportunity for hands-on learning and the ability to apply what they are learning in the classroom to the real world.

“AmeriQual, like many businesses right now, is always looking for qualified employees to join our team,” said Mirsada Salihovic, vice president of human resources.  “RAMP will allow us to create a pipeline of skilled workers who are already part of our family and who can be successful whether they stay at AmeriQual upon graduation or move on to something else.”

The initial RAMP cohort will include 80 students who will be selected through an application process based on need. The program fulfills the requirements for students to graduate with the opportunity to earn several certifications; including, MSSC Certification, OSHA 10 and a Forklift certification which all lead to high wage high demand careers. Students will get paid for their work and be eligible for attendance and productivity bonuses.

Going forward, the EVSC hopes to expand the program not only within AmeriQual but also work to include additional local companies and businesses.

Students interested in applying for RAMP can visit www.EVSCschools.com/RAMPapply or speak with their school counselor.

Two weeks later, Darci began tackling talent shows, eventually making it to the biggest talent show on television, NBC’s “Americas Got Talent.”

Following her big win, she has been featured on NBC’s “Little Big Shots,” Food Networks “Kids Baking Championship,” “Ellen” and “TODAY.” Her first Christmas special “Darci Lynne: My Hometown Christmas” aired in Dec. 11, 2018.

Leighty Earns All-Tournament Honors At Triton Invitational

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Golf wrapped up competition in the Triton Invitational, hosted by the University of Missouri-St. Louis, on Monday. Junior Abbey Leighty (Mt. Carmel, Illinois) earned herself a spot on the All-Tournament team, posting two rounds of 75 for an eight-over performance in the two-day event.

USI encountered a rocky start on Sunday, as three of the six Screaming Eagles in the event had their first round disqualified, which eventually led to a team finish of 17th among the 19 teams. Leighty’s 75 in the first round left her T-3rd.

While Leighty stayed steady on Monday, sophomore Brittany Skinner (Evansville, Indiana) picked up five strokes from her Sunday round for 84 in the second day. Leighty finished T-4th in the Triton Invitational while Skinner finished T-40th among 92 players.

USI Women’s Golf has just under three weeks to prepare for the Great Lakes Valley Conference championship at the Panther Creek Country Club in Springfield, Illinois, starting on April 26.

0

As University of Southern Indiana Softball gets set for its Senior Day festivities this weekend, junior pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week in an announcement by the league office Monday afternoon.

The announcement marks the second straight week and the third time in four weeks that Leonhardt has been named the GLVC Pitcher of the Week. It’s the seventh time in her career that she has earned the honor.

Leonhardt went 2-0 with a save, a 0.00 ERA, a .167 opponent batting average and 24 strikeouts as the Screaming Eagles went 4-0 with GLVC road sweeps over William Jewell College and Rockhurst University.

Additionally, Leonhard went 9-for-15 at the plate with four doubles, three RBI and three runs scored.

USI (25-13, 13-3 GLVC), which begins the week atop the GLVC standings after winning nine of its last 10 games, returns to action Tuesday at 6 p.m. when it hosts Kentucky Wesleyan College in a Midwest Region doubleheader at the USI Softball Field.

The Eagles also host Missouri University of Science & Technology in a GLVC doubleheader Saturday at noon before finishing the week with a conference twinbill against Drury University Sunday at noon. Sunday is Senior Day for USI, which will honor its seniors—catcher Lindsey Barr (Whitesville, Kentucky), outfielder/pitcher Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana), second baseman Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana) and pitcher Haylee Smith (Florence, Kentucky)—following the games.

All six games will be aired on the GLVC Sports Network, while live stats, video and radio coverage can be accessed at Go
