Should an adopted adult have the same rights to identifying information about his or her origins as all non-adopted adults?
No. There can be no such thing as a right to encroach on the rights of another individual. If someone puts their child up for adoption and does not wish to be identified in the future then that is his/her individual right. Only with consent from both parties should identification be made. In a similar way, if a parent chooses to sever all contact with an adult child then it is his/his right to do so. Adults have a right to pursue their own path in life, but not to determine the path of anyone else, including their parents.
