Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and child care experts generally think this is a good idea. However,many adopted children, or adoptees,have very little information about their biological mother and father. As a matter of fact, it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed. The information is confidential, so no one can see it sealed documenys protect both adoptees and their natural parent.
