[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 certainly sound like a rescue mutt if you don’t even know what day you were born. [/quote]
Yes, millions of adoptees don't have their birth information. And yes, dogs come with more information. [/quote]

Rescue mutts don't come with any of the information listed. Where would you get it? [/quote]

DNA. [/quote]

DNA encodes your birthplace and birthdate?[/quote]

No, but other related dogs show up,  oftentimes sibling and parent dogs with general location. Dogs can also be aged with teeth and DNA now, too. And since you are well-bent on this dog comparison to keep posting about rescue  dogs- a good proportion of rescues do come with information- people  give up  dogs to shelters.

Now, perhaps we can  move on the the crux of the actual question. Yes, many sdoptees do not have their actual birth day and other pertinent information. [/quote]

I wasn't the one claiming adopted dogs had birthdate information available. Estimating age with teeth is not a birthdate. General location based on related dogs is not a birthplace.[/quote]

Ok then- now you understand why I would like to  see my birthdate!

And just so you know, I was able to find one of my dogs birthplace and  general age by locating all her siblings in a state. Enough of them, 3,  had DNA done and one of the owners gave me the rest of the info. She doesn't  care at all,  though, understandably. She  is a dog.  It was fun  to know, but it makes little difference  other than knowing  her age,  which does matter down the line. It was just fun.

I kind of do care about my info- I am not a dog. [/quote]
