Adoption Disclosure

Adoption disclosure refers to the process of sharing information about a child's birth parents with the adopted individual, often at their request or age. It can involve revealing medical history, personal background, or details about their origins. The goal is to foster understanding, provide important health information, and support the individual’s sense of identity. Adoption disclosure policies vary by jurisdiction and agreement, with some encouraging open sharing and others maintaining confidentiality. Overall, it’s about respecting the adopted person’s right to know their background and facilitating transparency when appropriate.
