[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why knowing who your birth mother was is considered a basic human right by some posters on here. It isn't a "human right," it's just the law in the jurisdiction where it is valid. The two are not the same. Basic human rights are things like freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. Look, freedom from starvation isn't a human right either yet I'd think that would be more important than knowing who your birth mother was.

I do understand that people may want to know about family history for medical reasons but surely such information can be obtained neutrally using a third party and having a full documented family medical history should become part of the adoption papers for closed adoptions.

[b]There's quite a lot of "me" "me" "me" "I" "I" "I want" "I want" "I want" "me" "me" "me" on this thread. But what about what "they" want, too? I suppose it's a reflection of the selfishness of our times where the well-being of the individual must triumph over everyone else. [/b]

To the OP: the birth family reacted so strongly to your sister's queries that it suggests dark circumstances surrounding the birth. Out of kindness and politeness she should refrain from prodding the matter. [b]She already has a loving family: your parents and you. Focus on that. The past is past.[/b] [/quote] +1[/quote]
