Should an adopted adult have the same rights to identifying information about his or her origins as all non-adopted adults?
I'm not sure
Comments:
It is essential, in my view, that all individuals have access to information about their origin that are required for their health care. However, although I respect that adoptive individuals may have strong emotional and/or psychological reasons for learning more about their birth parents, such parents may also have similarly strong emotional and/or psychological reasons to remain anonymous. Perhaps it should be required that birth parents be required to provide specific health information. Ultimately, though, unless I can be convinced otherwise, I believe that a birth parents desire to remain anonymous must also be considered.
