So many adopted babies from the 50/60/70's are now at the age when they need their info so the doctors can care for them completely - not just as a blank slate with only childhood illnesses to guide them.
Kind regards,

All adoptions should be open at the very least 18. Or never closed. They need to go back and open adoptions that they closed.
Today with some adoptions being out of foster care and the concern about the reasons in the first place those are the ones that need aparents to have all info, even if the birthparents cannot be given that info. If should be available easily for aparents and adoptees.
All voluntary adoptions should be open and never closed.
When they did the great blanket closing in the ? late 40s or the 50s I don't remember when they did it. But they closed all previous adoptions. When no one had ever expected such a thing. That should have never been done either.
I agree older adoptions are closed and it often says 21 is the age you cannot even look. Becasue that used to be the age of majority.
