Andrew James, Green Party, Eglinton-Lawrence

Should an adopted adult have the same rights to identifying information about his or her origins as all non-adopted adults?

No (not the same rights).

The adoption process should include some reference to the medical history of both parents, where available.

But adopted children should only be given other identifying information where the biological parenta have previously indicated to the adoption authority their willingness to be "found" by the adopted child.

This is my personal opinion and not necessarily that of the Green Party as a whole.
