Step 1: Figure Out What's Your Point
 
This first step is important because it'll determine how to find the right people to contact in Step 2. 
 
So what is the reason you're contacting a legislator? Are you wanting to ask if they support an adult adoptee's right to access their own original birth certificate? Is there a specific bill that relates to adoptee rights that's going to have a hearing or a vote? Do you want to set up a meeting with the legislator to discuss adoptee rights in Washington State?
 

NOTE: For more suggestions on contacting legislators, see Tips for contacting legislators.

 
After you figure out what your point is for making contact with the legislator, you're ready for Step 2: Find the right legislator to contact.
