I guess I have not really thought about adoption having the records sealed or open. One thing I do know that if I was adopted, I would want to know more about my parents medical records. This would be the main reason I would say to have the records opened. For any other reasons than medical concerns, I would agree to keep the records sealed. I have searched for more information and found this website very interesting how adoptee feel about open vs sealed records.
http://www.bastards.org/ Bastard Nation advocates or the civil and human rights of adult citizens who were adopted as children. Millions of North Americans are prohibited by law from accessing personal records that pertain to their historical, genetic and legal identities. Such records are held by their governments in secret and without accountability, due solely to the fact that they were adopted.
