[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people don't want to be contacted (for whatever reason), then that's it. That's the end of road. No one has an obligation to talk to the adoptee if they don't want to.[/quote]

And if an adopted child wishes to send letters or emails to his or her biological parent, that child has that right as well. The adopted child also has a right to share any information he or she has learned about birth parents. There may be social norms and etiquette, but that’s not the law.  Another person asked why anyone would think cousins would know about a child who was given up for adoption. Well, why wouldn’t they? Why do we assume that biological mother is our ashamed of their babies or their choice to provide their kids with a better life as is so often stated?   And, most basic of all, having a child is not a private matter. Of course, there are others present for the event, and one would hope that the father would be aware of the baby as well.  Most of all, though, the baby is a person. [/quote]
