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

In my opinion the parents who have put the child up for adoption, and the parents who adopted the child would need to agree beforehand to be identified. If there is no agreement then No. If the birth parents are deceased, and the adopting ones are the only survivors to the adoption agreement, and they know, and willing to share the information, then the answer is yes.

In general, geneological information needs to be searched out by the individual interested in it. If a certain relative does not want to give out the information they do not have to.
