I respect everything I've read in this article.. I have a predicament that reaches to another generation. My Mother was adopted the record sealed. She remembered & had pictures of herself and others in the orphanage. I remember a conversation we (her 3 daughters) had, with Her and she always wondered why nobody Loved Her or wanted Her... I said they wanted You more, You were Special. I remembered thinking from that moment on, that I wanted to find out FOR Her... that was approximately 1970. Here's the twist, my Mom the adoptee was to perish in August of 1972 in a tragic car accident... she was 33 years old... I was twelve, I just turned 50, I was curious at first.. even after Her death.
I have no idea what part of MY Nationality is.. she died to young to know if there were any hereditary diseases in Her genetic makeup. I have no Medical Records with which to offer any of my Children or There children. I really have no interest in who this Woman is... other then to hear a name and get a Medical History. Is that a crime. How fair is it that I cannot obtain Her sealed records in my lifetime, because She is dead... as I'm quite sure All the players in this saga probably are. If all parties are no longer living, what harm is it for me to know my History, I wouldn't be hurting anyone or stepping on toes. It really unsettles MY Heart... I feal incomplete.
