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

The simple answer is "yes."
Of course, the rights and wishes of birthparents to maintain non-contact absolutely must be observed, but I do believe that adopted individuals should have access to information about their familial history, particularly with respect to health related issues.
