We do not appreciate government representatives who claim to support our rights to privacy and confidentiality which were never legally offered in the first place. In actual fact, we signed a "Consent to adopt" form that did not offer us anything in return. And THEN we are denied, by the same government, the right to reach out to our adult children. We were never asked, or consulted about our wishes for secrecy. Please, do not speak for us. INSTEAD, give adult adoptees the right to find out their origins, and allow natural parents the ability to offer a connection to their adult children who had been adopted. People deserve to know their own stories. Records in other provinces and territories have been opened for decades now without any adverse effects. Stop manufacturing excuses for government control! Karen Lynn, Canadian Council of Natural Mothers.
