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

Yes.

Comment - since information about ancestry can be very important when assessing risk levels for various genetically-related diseases, it is important for prevention, early detection, and effective treatment of disease to be able to find such information where possible. As our knowledge of genetic factors increases, this will become even more important.
