Hi,

I'm not really sure if this is the forum in which I should place my question, so please keep that in mind.

my husband and his ex girlfriend put their baby up for adoption almost 30 years ago and I'm unsure of all the paperwork they had to fill out, but my husband adopted my daughter when she was very small (11 years after his first born was placed for adoption). And at the time I was the legal secretary to the firm who represented me during the adoption. So I am the one who had to fill out all the forms to submit to the court and know first hand that there were TONS AND TONS AND TONS of questions about medical history that I had to provide from both sides of my family and my ex's family.

That being said, I have a question for adoptees and birth moms/dads alike. I've seen quite a bit of posts on the boards where adoptees want to find their birth parents for one reason of many to find out about their medical history. But I was wondering if the birth mothers and fathers had to provide that when they placed their children for adoption. Please note that I only ask this question out of curiosity because of my own experience when my hubby adopted my daughter. It is in NO WAY to be taken that I am knocking or doubting that reason. Looking forward to your responses....

Have a great weekend.
