I agree that agencies don't really want IA to be open, though my story is a little different. My agency knew that our son had a sister adopted and was living 20 minutes away from us and they did NOT contact us. Even worse, they discounted the "story" when we got a letter from the other family 8 MONTHS AFTER THE AGENCY HEARD ABOUT IT. I asked them to look into it and I never heard from them again. Now a world away they "find" each other,and they felt that it wasn't worth mentioning. Some say that the agency may have thought that they really weren't bio siblings - if it wasn't for the fact they they look IDENTICAL, just the opposite gender and that they each had a 5x7 pics on the same wall in the agency. Many agencies do what is easy for them, no more.
