The adoptee has access to non-identifying information. The birth mother often has no right to ANY information. I’m puzzled. Just who exactly are these unjust laws protecting? Why can’t a mother have even non-identifying information?

It’s good to know something so you can be on the lookout for any person who might resemble your child so you can flee in terror from them. Right? Identifying information would be even better. We mothers would know who to block from phone and Facebook. We could at LEAST have SOMEWAY to protect our precious confidentiality. (Sarc.!)
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Even with closed records our children are finding us through Facebook and DNA and other means. Why don’t the states just stop being so heartlessly obstructionist. You are not helping the adoptee who you ALL claim to care about the “best interest of” (or does their “best interest” only matter while they are under the age of cute and impressionable?). I don’t believe you have the adoptees best interest at heart at all. If you did you would understand the cruelty and abuse that closed records causes the adoptee AND their children and future generations. When I see this kind of legislation I think you are all about protecting the best interests of the agencies and adoptive parents. It’s time you told the truth in that regard at least, even if you can’t bring yourself to do the truly right thing and open records fully. Please at least speak the truth about who’s confidentiality you are tenaciously trying to protect!

I would love to see adoptee rights organizations and their supporters pick a fully closed state and fight for opening the records for the birth mother, on the grounds that she needs to know who her child is to protect her privacy /confidentiality by blocking the adoptees phone number / blocking them and any others who may “know” from contacting them on Facebook, not living near them, etc. I betcha the opponents to open records would RAPIDLY change their tune from “protecting birth mother confidentiality” to “we have to protect adoptee confidentiality!” I know they would. Someday maybe they will get around to telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. These unjust bills and laws keeping records closed or severely restricting access are not in the interest of the birth mother confidentiality /privacy and they certainly are not ever in the best interest of the one adopted!!!!!!!! Not EVER.
