Do Adopted Children Seek Out Their Birth Parents When They Are Older?

Well I seen something on tv the other day that got me thinking about adopted children. Usually 9 times out of 10 the adopted child is brought into a good home and raised with everything a child needs. What I'm wondering is do the majority of adopted people search out their birth family or do you think they are just happy with what they where lucky enough to get? Whats the need to search out the birth family when they had everything a normal family has? Just A Question.

My huband was adopted at birth and he has never tried searching for his birth parents (he has no intentions of doing this). His parents (the ones who raised him) are both gone now and to this day he still feels that it would be disrepctful to look for his birth mother.
Some people serach because they want to know medical history and they want closure as to why they were put up for adoption. Some kids have it set in their minds that it is their fault.

I do think so. If I am an adopted child, I would also look for my birth parents. I guess every adopted person would be curious how their birth parents look like, how they are doing, will they be welcomed warmly, and reason why they were given away
