I am having trouble in my search obviously because I do not have enough information and I had a private adoption, so no one cares about my rights as an adoptee to know my history or medical background. And this really stinks!! Just recently I have been told I have a minor medical condition that is said to be hereditary and that bugs me. Not much I can do or have any questions answered even if it is just mear curiosity. This is really horrible for the adoptee. I don't want to invade my b/mothers life or bring back old baggage, but I feel I should have the right to my medical history and some information as to who I am!!! I am questioning my reasons for searching because I thought I just wanted my medical history, but I want so much more. And I am mad at the system and upset that my b/mother left me with nothing, not a letter or a picture, nothing. Thanks for your response, I feel better knowing others feel the same! Take care
