Dear All,
I have found reading your posts interesting. As an adoptee, who also was given with no information which to even research my heritidge or medical background, I aslo have anger harboured about my situation. There are things that come up in my life that I know are related back to my being adopted. And I too have been diagnosed recently with a genetic disease that I suffered with for ages before it was worked out what was going on. So I sympathize with what you could be going through.
I read on one of the posts recently that catholic Charities were changing info on b/certificate as late as 1986! I have suspicions that my b/date was also changed, which makes it impossible to find even the most basic of info. Something has to change in the legal proccess of adoption for the sake of adoptees. I understand how some b/moms do not want to be contacted, that is fine, but I think all background info should be given at birth and left with the parents who have adopted a child. We have a right to know where we've come from.
Take care.
