If an adopted child decides, at some point, to search for the birth parent, will the adoption agency or attorney contact the birth parent before the child does?
This can be done if the birth parent wishes. The birth parent should make this wish known to the adoption agency or attorney. Q: May a birth parent write the adoptive parents a letter explaining the reasons for placing the child for adoption, and will the birth parent be assured that the adoptive couple will receive and read it, and share it with the child at an appropriate time? A: A birth parent may write such a letter, and hope that the adoptive parents will share the letter with the child. While adoptive parents cannot be forced to read such a letter or share it with the child, they may appreciate the option.
