Adoption

Yes, I think that people that put there child up for adoption should have to give all information about there heritage and medical background. The problem with that is you don't have to fill out anything to put a child up for adoption.

Most certainly. It is part of who they are. To know about your makeup is very important.

I believe that the adopted child should have the legal right to know everything about his true heritage/background then he should adjust to accept facts and realities. There are laws and they should be followed but the child should know the truth at the right time.

If it was me, I would want to know the history of my parents,grandparents, and great grandparents. Culture and heritage is very importent to people. I believe they should allow a person to know their past. Keep searching and the best of luck to you.

Yes. It is their rights to know. Nobody should hold back their rights.

For me no as long as he/ she is happy with the family who adopted her/his

only if you are given the time and chance to know whom you are and where you are coming from,but apart from that what do you think you can do ,at your old age

it need not be legal

I feel that anyone that is adopted has a right to know about their heritage. My husband was adopted as a baby. He found out he was adopted at 11 years old by his evil stepmother. She shoved him at his birth mother at his grandfathers casket and told him that was his real mom and that the 3 girls he thought were his cousins were his sisters. His birth mother had 4 daughter and my husband. Three of his sisters were raised in one family which was related to his adopted family. Therefore he called them his cousins. His other sister was abandoned in New Mexico. All of the kids including my husband are in contact with their birth mother now. She keeps in contact with my husband better than his adopted parents. On my husbands 21st birthday she gave him a picture of his biological father and told us his name. He never knew that my mother in law was pregnant so therefore he does not know my husband exists. From what we were told he was only 16 at the time. My husband looks just like him. I have tried to locate him just to know if my husband has any siblings. If we locate an address my husband and I are going to write him a letter and enclose a copy of the picture that we have of him and my mother in law and see what happens. My husband has said if he wants to meet him he will agree but if not he understands. I have tried different message boards trying to locate him but no luck. I have even posted a topic on here.

you should tell them when they get older when they unstatnd

I believe the child has the right to and they should know.Every body didnt give their kids up for adoption because they didnt want them which is the most disgusing reason in the world.They do it because they might not be capable of taking care of their child financially and they want their child to to have a way better life than they could provide at that point in their life..

yes!

I think it is a right of the adopted person to know his actual entity.

yes its really necessary to know abt their true background n reason they wer adopted...its not good n loyal hiding frm them but wth that they must b loved n cared wth whole heart...

The adopted person has every right to know the true heritage, background and family etc.

I think they have the right to know medical information and heritage. But for some finding out why they were put up for adoption, parents were incarcerated, they were the result of rape or incest, that kind of information could be damaging and cause undo anxiety about their natural parents.

yes i believe they should know. later on in life if they get ill, or have children that are seriously ill, their life may depend on information from their real parents.

I definetly say yes. I just started a quest to look for my 7 cousins who were adopted out.All I know is the names they had before they were changed. Every website I have tried I must know their current names.I am very distressed. But I wish you very much luck!

Yes 100% that child has a right to know everything about her/him if she chooses too. Especially for medical reasons.

its not compulsory.sometimes it may lead into difficulties
