Meet Stephen Strawn

Meanwhile, in Ohio, the new law also gave a 37-year-old man named Stephen Strawn hope. Strawn had grown up in Pennslyvania with loving parents that would never lie to him, so they told him plainly at a young age: they had adopted him. Unfortunately, they had no idea who his parents were. While Strawn loved his adopted parents, he, like Faix, had always wondered about his long lost mother.

Strawn had searched for his real mother many times, but could never gain the documents he needed. So, when his wife told him about the new law, Strawn immediately set out to see if he could receive a copy of his original birth certificate.
