Hello people. In New Zealand the records were opened in 1985!!! If a birth parent, or an adoptee didn't want to be found they had a period of time to put a veto on their records. This veto allowed the records to remain sealed for 10 yrs. After that period of time you have re register your veto for another 10yrs or records will be opened.
The right to remove the veto at any time applies!!!
Seems to have worked.
Just a thought.
I shudder when I hear how at the mercy of the courts you guys in USA are. It ISNT fair...not one bit!!!
