Adoptee Rights Movement
The Adoptee Rights Movement advocates for the rights of individuals who have been adopted. Central to this movement is the push for access to original birth certificates and personal information that may be sealed after adoption. Supporters argue that adoptees have the right to know their biological heritage, including medical history, and that transparency can foster better emotional and mental well-being. The movement also addresses issues like discrimination and advocates for legal reforms to ensure equal treatment for adoptees, regardless of their adoption circumstances, emphasizing their right to identity and connection to their origins.
