[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is a wise idea.[/quote]
Why on earth not? I cannot  imagine why it is a problem? I know who all the parties are, all the relatives, on both sides,  as well, and they all know about me. All bio and adoptive parents are dead. There's nothing I don't know about anyone,  and vice versa, as I’ve done DNA. No one should  be without this knowledge.

So, you think it's not a good idea  for  me to know:
My actual birthday?
The time and place of my birth?
What was written on my birth record?

Why do you get to know that and not me? I am not a rescue mutt, who,  BTW, comes with a lot more information than I actually have. [/quote]

You don’t get to tell someone else’s story. You are one individual they are another.

Big whoop someone birthed you.

They are their own human. Not your punching bag.

There are many reasons a woman does not want their story told.

Spare us your ridiculous nonsense and get a life no adoptee deserves to ruin life of the mother years later.

Example 
My BF was a product of rape insest when she was 11 years old. Her own brother viciously raped her, Her catholic parents shipped her off to a maternity home in Idaho from
Long Island. What do you not understand about that trama ? Those records are sealed for a reason. [/quote]

Sorry, my birth story is mine. We don't  "protect" mothers and fathers from old patriarchal mores anymore. And,  additionally,  most mothers in the 50s and 60s had no choice about keeping their baby or not. There couldn't be a unmarried mother.

Also, there's no reason for mine or anyone else's, to seal records- we all know who everyone is, including me, due to  DNA now. The names of everyone,  parents, all siblings, haIf siblings, etc.  If you actually read the post you would know that. Lastly,  all parent parties  are long dead. There's here's no secrets anymore that a sealed record is keeping for me and anyone, other than my actual birthdate and where I was born.

Reading comprehension- try it. [/quote]

How do you know who is listed on the records?[/quote]

You have likely never have done a DNA test since you are asking this question.  Here's a piece of information you may be interested to know. In your lifetime, even if you never take a DNA test,  if someone is looking for you in any capacity,  or even if they are not,  they can find you very easily even if the closest relative you had that did take a DNA test is  as far out as a 5th cousin. If I was looking for you, it would take very little time. [/quote]

You are assuming the records reflect reality. The mother may have given a different name for the father. Do you know whose name is listed on the record?[/quote]
