do you think we have a right to know

[barbie]

hi i was reading some threads about a adoptions and i agree an adoptee as a right to know who their parents where but do you think some people like me that have a brother that supposely been adopted whom i not met have a right to know about them too. i mean i heard my brother lives a few miles down the road from me but i have no idea what he looks like. what if he has a son and my daughter met him or he has a daughter and my son met her and they have relationship because you would'nt know they were related cos children who are adopted have diffrent names so it would not ring a bell. my children often go to this town nice clubbing and i wonder sometime if they have bumped into my brothers children. Am i making sense here. when i go shopping in the town my brother lives in, i am always looking around hoping that i will sense him but i know that wont happened. is there any one out there that have that same problem

And you wrote that all in one breath! Sorry if I offended you but your post was kind of difficult to read.

I would suggest you speak to your adoptive parents and/ or social services in your area. Read the threads in the adoption forums and you will find everything you are wanting to know.

Several people seem to have answered this question elsewhere including information on tracing adopted birth relatives.

Did you perhaps lose track of the thread that contained thses messages?

yeah sorry. i think i got carried a way but there are so much about my family background that i could write a book. I need alot of info on different things i guess i could be going the wrong way about it. maybe i am trying to rush things but need to slow down and do things bits at at time. About my brother being adopted, what i was trying to say is that if i manage to find where he actually is, he can refuse to meet me which i think is wrong because of our children could end up meeting each other not knowing they could be related. does that make sense.
