“Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.”
… Franklin D. Roosevelt
Birth mothers were promised confidentiality at the time they relinquished their children.
Unsealing birth certificates to adopted adults will cause higher abortion rates and lower adoption rates.
If adopted adults learn their birth mother’s true identity, the adoptees will stalk them and force themselves on their birthparents.
Birth mothers’ rights to anonymity trump adoptees’ rights to know the truth about themselves.
Don’t search for your birth mother because she’ll slam the door in your face.
Birth mothers don’t want to remember their painful pasts.
Adoptees are just not interested in finding their first parents.
Adoptees are psychologically challenged. They have more difficulties in dealing with their emotional problems than non-adoptees.
An adoptee who searches for a birth parent takes a big chance of wreaking havoc on his or her Forever Family.
Unsealing birth certificates to adopted adults will harm the institution of adoption and harm the lives of many innocent people.
BUDDAH taught:
Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true. [paraphrased]

Anita, this is excellent! All opposed to adoptees receiving their OBC's need to read this.
