Have you ever asked yourself:

• What is my family medical history?
• Who do I look like?
• Why have I always felt “different”?
• Did my birth mother love me?
• Does she think of me on my birthday?
• Does my biological father know of my existence?
• Do I have sisters and brothers?
• What is my ethnic background?
• Why was I given up for adoption?
• If I search, is it disloyal to my adoptive parents?

I Believe everyone has the right to information about their family members and who they are. This includes medical history, ethnic background, etc.

Secrecy implies shame. An adoption in the family is nothing to be ashamed of. I believe in openness in adoption.

Adoptees have the right to have answers to their questions, know the first chapter of their story and understand why they were placed for adoption.

Birth mothers and fathers have the right to know what became of the child they gave up. They have questions they would like answered too.
