Capitalism has truly gone-a-muck, as infant stranger adoption became in Vogue. As a former public school teacher, I understand the emotional complications young people go through; attempting to understand "why" they were sold to a strange couple, and realize they are "second choice."
No adult adoptee that we know,has been able to fully realize their talents, and all have relationship challenges, even with their children.
Infant stranger adoption should be illegal in all countries of the world. And world civilizations should do everything possible to keep families together.
I am really surprised there hasn't been a class-action law suit by natural families-natural mothers.
While I fully agree with your conclusion that everything possible should be done to help keep families together, you make some extremely dogmatic and broad crush statements about "all adoptees" that one simply cannot make. There is not "all" about any group of people under any circumstances. Many adopted people would disagree that no adoptee "has been able to fully realize their talents, and all have relationship challenges, even with their children." Many perhaps, but we can never say "all." Doing so, actually diminishes and discredits your claims as hyperbole.
Seems to me a class action suit for access to one's own original birth certificate needs to be initiated by adoptees, not first mothers. I, as a mother who lost a child o adoption, have actually been criticized by one or two adoptees for having "no right" to start this petition!
