Adoptees have a right (and a real need these days) to their family's medical history. Beyond that, I don't believe the rights of the biological parents who gave up these children should be violated. One of my parents was adopted as an infant and knowing what I know about genetics, I'd certainly like to know more (anything actually) about my parent's biological parents as pertains to their medical histories. However, I believe that only if both sides - biological parent(s) and child - indicate they wish to know the other personally should this type of information be made available.
