Earlier people were taboo stricken and superstitions regarding adoption. But with widespread education most people have cast these unnecessary superstitions away and the proof is the increased percentage of adoption worldwide. Many celebrities around the world have also involved themselves in this humane act.
When children are adopted their birth details are disclosed only to the adopters and the information is labeled as non-identifying. It is kept secret with the government agency that is handling the adoption or the court. Now if the adoptee, after growing up, feels the urge to reunite with his birth parents he has to go through a series of legal matters for ending his journey on a happy note.
At first the adoptee has to gather up all necessary details about him, which may include his birth name, birth date, place of birth, the name of the hospital, his vital statistics, the name of the doctor and the time of his birth. Then he has to register himself with any state agency or a private one, which would help him find birth parents. After adoptee registry one has to find all the necessary information about the birth parents and give them to the concerned agency.
