[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, it doesn't matter at all what you think, or any esoteric examples that may  or may  not be sock puppet (s)above  :wink: ...come on....

Adoptees do absolutely deserve to know what their background is, who their parents are as well as the circumstances surrounding their birth and adoption, regardless if they actually do this  search or not. And, no one can decide this for them, especially the birth or adoptive parents. [/quote]

You are entirely missing the point.  They deserve to know if it is their choice as well as their birth  parents choice   If one side doesn't agree, they need to  respect the other's decision.   Adoptive parents don't choose if a child searches or not once the kids become adults.  So, blaming  the  adoptive parents is silly.  Come 18 they can get a DNA test and find them or contact the agency if there was one or request to have their adoption records open.

Not everyone feels the same way as you  do and you  need to learn to respect it.

I think you need to respect the system. DNA supersedes all opinion here, and any child can  and will locate a parent with or without their agreement.  They will find their siblings,  their cousins,  their story. Birthparents have no say whatsoever. Get a grip, learn a little. It no longer matter what a parent wants. At all.  [/quote]

And, if they do not want to, it is likely their kids will. No one owns information.  This is pretty universal now.[/quote]

Definitely. My father was adopted in the 1940s. A DNA test several years ago and I traced his entire family. I wanted the info. I got it. My family and I were all very happy to know.
