There is new concern regarding the case of contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune.
A group that supports open adoption worries about the children born around the base between the 1950's and 1980's.
As it stands now, birth records are sealed to people who are adopted.
That means they won't know if they're vulnerable to health problems related to their birthplace.
The North Carolina Coalition for Adoption Reform wants to overturn closed adoption policies.
More than 7,500 former military and family members report health problems they believe can be traced to the contaminated drinking water at the base.
