I have a friend who attempted to communicate with the child she put up for adoption as a teen. She knows the adoptive parents, where they live, etc. Communicating through an attorney, the child has refused any contact or knowledge, despite her desire to communicate a serious family history of cancer. It's a complicated issue for some, and has created some highly motivated people - like Walt Disney, Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison.

Personally, my feeling is that adoptees are the only ones among us who absolutely, positively know they were wanted.
