[quote=Anonymous]I am an adult adoptee and my adoption was an international closed one.  I also have an adopted child who comes from the same country, also through a closed adoption.  It is my hope that my daughter will one day look to find her birth parents, but honestly, I don't believe they want to be found.  We keep her file updated with letters and pictures and the adoption agency is supposed to notify us if her bio family ever accesses the file, but so far, her family has not.  Both of her birth parents came in to relinquish their rights so it's not like her father doesn't know about her.  The same deal with my birth parents- that file has never been requested.

It's ok though  :D  I understand the rationale behind open adoptions but I think sometimes people think that if you're not part of an open adoption, you're going to be messed up.  I'm not, and neither is my sister.  I knew nothing about my background until a few years ago and sure I wondered and was curious, but it's not like it dominated my thoughts constantly.  I also know enough about my daughter's background that I'll be able to answer basic and some not-so-basic questions.[/quote]
