Bill of Rights for Adoptees

The Bill of Rights for Adoptees is a set of proposed guidelines aimed at ensuring the rights and welfare of individuals who have been adopted. It emphasizes the importance of access to information about their origins, including medical histories and birth records. Additionally, it advocates for the right to establish contact with birth parents if both parties agree. The intent is to recognize adoptees' identities and foster a sense of belonging, while also balancing the confidentiality wishes of birth parents. Overall, it promotes fairness and support for adoptees throughout their lives.
