Is it okay for an adopted child to seek out the biological family?

For some family who've adopt a child, they've prepared theirselves on coming to a right time of revealing the true identiy of the child. It's their right to know where they came from. For adopted children, it's not a selfishness thing of searching your own root. It doesn't mean that you'll be living the family who loves you and give good life for you. Some says that searching your own root will complete you as a person. Though they are not really your own family but they treated you as their own was the biggest blessing that gave GOD you.

If I am an adopted child, maybe i will seek for my biological parents not because I want to stay with them, but to thank them for giving me to my adoptive parents who take good care of me, and love me as their real child. I won't leave my adoptive parents.

I think there i s no need to look for them. why do you want to look them up? For what reasons. why do you wiosh to hurt people who have loved you like their own and go for those who abandond you. They obviously did not want you in their life, sop be happy that you have a family that loves you and cares for you. Instead what you are giving them in return--HURT? I can not understand this need, sorry and I think its very selfish of the kid to do that.

yea i believe that every child has a right o seek out their own real parents...and the adopting family should be ready for this and should allow the kid to do so!!! they are always going to be close the adopting family and the child but the biological parents have some answering to do as why they ditch the kid in the first place...

I think that the adopting family will understand if ever the child will look for his or her biological parents. Because no matter what you say or do any one would like to know where they really came from and who their real family is. And looking for their biological parents doesn't mean that they'll be leaving and will go with them. Of course the child has the right to know the truth. An another thing some people thinks that something will always be missing to their life if they wont find and see their true parents. It's like looking for a pioece of yourself that was lost and you need to find it so you can be whole again.

my parents sat me down when i was 18 and literally gave me permission to search. They let me know that they would understand if i wanted to find out where I came from. My mom even offered to hire a private investigator. I love my parents with all my heart and i opted to search on my own rather than them pay for a search. it took 17 years but I was found my my half brother's daughter. My mom and dad both know i have been found but i don't rub it in their faces. If they want to know stuff then i let them come to me. I don't want to hurt their feelings. even though they told me it wouldn't i still want to be respectful of them.

I guess every adopted child wants to know where they came from and why their mother / father gave them up at child birth. It helps them move on in life. The adopted parents should realise that they cannot stop them for doing this, but it is very important ont he part of the child to let his / her adopted parents understand that they still love them and would never leave them after they gave them a second chance and a good life.
