Today I got a call from my 43 year old daughter in Florida. Her 41 year old brother is visiting her and ended up in the hospital with congestive heart failure. My daughter said it was so frustrating to not be able to give the doctors the relevant family history and just had to say, "He's adopted!" My daughter is also adopted, but had a reunion with her birth mother a few years ago and now has someone to talk with about any health issues.
This secrecy in adoption is so outdated...for all parties. When will it end?
