[quote=Anonymous]9:33, I'm not sure what the laws are in the state that you were born and adopted, but where I live it is a lot more complicated than that (poster born in 85 here).  I also had a closed adoption and this is how it works (after you turn 18) where I live.    Throughout your entire life, my birthparents may have sent things to my adoption agency to put in my file.  When I turned 18, I would have had to go to the adoption agency and sign paperwork if I wanted to get whatever was in my adoption folder.  Then, if I wanted my birthparents to be able to search and/or contact me, or find out any information about contacting them, I had to fill out another form.  It's not as simple here as just turning 18 and thinking if they want to contact you, they can.  The laws here still protect me from being contacted at all until I sign paperwork.  I'm sorry that it was never properly explained to you that once you became legally adopted, your birth mom COULDN'T contact you.  I'm sorry that you have issues with your adoption.  [/quote]
