Age appropriate is all I can say. My parents didn't tell me stuff and I ended up finding out about my history when I was 13 from a drunken aunt. Nice huh? I was devastated when I was 18 and my mom confirmed all of it. Mom and dad did what the agency told them to do, so I don't blame them, but it wasn't easy. It was a life shattering thing.
So age appropriate details are good, giving information when the child asks.
Burning records? I agree, not yours to burn. I'm sure that person thought they were acting in their child's best interest, but in the end, it might backfire.

Musings of a Crazed Belle
7-9&10-2008 Mom and I remodel my bedroom. Why can't anything in this house be on the plumb?
7-22-2008 Dad gets a defibulator put in, I'm sure he'll be showing everyone the bump for months, but no fishing for four weeks.
8-5-2008 A month since I talked to B and he hasn't called me back. Why am I not surprised?
8-9-2008 Liz the kitty comes to live with me. Now my house won't be so empty.
8-19-2008 I get contacts again (YAY) my teeth cleaned (YAY) and a cracked tooth repaired (BOO). The cracked tooth is from work, man I love my job.
