Speaking as an adult adoptee, everything is important. We need our medical history; we need to know our family origins. We need pictures of our parents, siblings, grandparents. What most people take for granted, we adoptees long for. If parents are unable to take care of their children and adoption is 100% the only option, then every child should be given any information pertaining to their identity and health. It is unlawful to deny someone their own identity and origins. Hiding information will never be in the child’s best interest.
