CLOSED ADOPTION: AN ILLUSORY PROMISE TO BIRTH PARENTS AND THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF SEALED ADOPTION RECORDS "Along with adjusting to technology, the government needs to understand the psychological undertones of the adoption process. Such a sensitive family issue makes it difficult to draft legislation. Nevertheless, adoptees have the right to know more about their own genetic information. When a birth family places a child up for adoption, the birth parents sign away their r...ight to make decisions on behalf of the adoptee. Other rights waived include the right to decide what information should be provided to a child about his or her adoption and birth family. Birth parents have no right to privacy with respect to adoption, so that interest should not be valued more than the psychological well-being of adoptees." https://scholarship.law.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi See more
