I completely understand the frustration! A couple of years ago I tried to find out health information as well because of a medical condition that had just been diagnosed. I called the adoption agency through which I was adopted and asked if there was any health-related information that I could get. They told me that my files had not been updated, so the only way that I could get the information that I needed was to contact my birthparents directly. They then proceeded to tell me that they thought it was a good idea if I contacted them - they would probably want to know how I was doing, etc. I was astounded at the pressure that I was getting to contact my birthparents. I really wasn't prepared to have to deal with that. It had taken me a long enough time to simply pick up the phone to ask for health info. I just broke down emotionally and hung up the phone. I haven't tried back since. I intend to call again, but it is going to take some time to gather myself emotionally before I can make that call again.
