Adopted kids looking for biological parents

Who says his behavior has to be explicable to you? It's really none of your business.

 

OK, fine, but there IS a reason that records of an adoptee's birth parents are rather tightly sealed at birth

The idea that your parents and other ancestors' physical makeup are all-important is profoundly UnAmerican. It may appear harmless at first but it gets very ugly very fast if you try to carry the idea into almost any other area of serious inquiry. This is America and we are the very home of the successful orphan. The only thing that matters about your parents should be that, at one point or another, you had some.

 

This thread was not supposed to elicit judgment about people who don't see things the way you do. If the answer is no, you wouldn't seek out your biological parents, that's really all I need to know.

At least no one has found any basis to politicize the question.

Yet.

 

I see your point but now I have to ask you to see mine.

Does anybody even ask how the adoptive parents feel about this?

 

absolutely not.

 

Yes I wanted to know and finally did find out. I think it’s normal to wonder where you biologically came from. My adopted parents will always be mom and dad and I had a great upbringing. My bio family is all from Montana and I have a half sister who I’ve become close to but that’s about it. She had an ok but kind unstable life, so I’m glad I grew up as I did. I love genealogy though and want to look back as far as I can...it’s fun.
