HIPAA violation
I'm always one to confront, and in this case, even more so....
Besides the inappropriateness of the "real" mom comment, this is total violation of HIPAA confidentiality laws. I work with individuals with developmental disabilities. Many of my clients don’t have the ability to advocate for themselves. It’s my job to advocate for them. If those staff members were discussing an individual’s personal info in public(and whether or not one is adopted is definitely personal info), it’s a violation of the law. Period.
I’d have reported them in a heartbeat….
