Tupelo native meets Miss. relatives after 18 years

Nearly 18 years ago, Larry Traylor and his parents moved from the family oriented environment of Tupelo to Las Vegas with the idea of starting over. But the then-3-year-old didn't know starting over meant getting a new home along with a new family. After being in Las Vegas for less than a year, Traylor and two siblings were put up for adoption. Traylor went to school, just like the other kids; he played sports, just like the other kids, and he was loved by his family, just like the other kids. But unlike the other kids, a chapter of Traylor's life was an unsolved mystery — until last month.

    ~ oregon allows access to original birth certificates of adoptees ~

    What it does: Allows adoptees 21 and older who were born in Oregon to see their original birth certificates, which the state began sealing in 1957. Certificates usually include the name of the birth mother, and sometimes the birth father. The law allows birth mothers to attach forms to the birth certificates, indicating whether they want contact.
