Adoption ...

That is a tough question. Each situation has a unique answer and only the peole involved should have the right to answer it. I do not think that the government should have any say so in the matter at all. I think that if a child wants to know when they are old enough to understand fully what knowing may intale, then they should be able to find out. On the other hand, I have heard the biological mother specify that she does want her child to know about her at a certain age. I think that that child should be told when it reaches the age that was agreed on when the mother gave the child up for adoption. Adoption is a wonderful way for a child to have both parents who love them. I think each case is unique in its own way and that each case should be handled as such

I think all childen should have the rite to know who his/her real parents are, they should be told that they were adopted and then it should be up to them if they wanna find out who there biological parents are, Its not wright if they dont konw because then there is always the possibility of them getting older and dating or marrying there brother or sister all because they never got the chance to find out who there biological parents were and to find out if they had any brothers or sisters, And for medical reasons to, Just to be able to know about your family history to know if there is cancer or diseases that run in there family.

I met my sister, Julie, about 4 years ago. She was adopted at birth by a family who lives in Maine. My mother gave my sister up for adoption shortly after giving birth to her. I was glad to know that she was able to look for us, as we had been looking for her. It shouldn't be the decision of the adoptive parents. If the child would like to know more about his/her life, it should be their decision. It is their life.

Being an adopted child i feel very strongly about it being the deciion of the child.I wonder all the time about my birth parents and if i have any siblings or even medical stuff that i should know about. To this day my parents have yet to tell me anything about them and any documentation that they have has disappeared. I feel that i was cheated out of an opportunity to at least know something. Their age,height, anything. It's a very strange thing to grow up not having anyone around who even remotely looks like you.

I think the decision ultimately belongs to the child. I don't mean when they are little, but when they are old enough to handle it then they should be able to find out this information if they choose.
