Yes, I'm one of those people who excitedly set up a blog and then discarded it like a Christmas tree in January. Well, I'm back in school, back to my book and back to researching experts' opinions on whether to tell adopted people as children or adults that their parents are not genetically related to them. In my combing of the Internet, I read about the Roger Siegel case in Brooklyn. The California man, an adoptee, is accused of stalking his birth mother in New York. Regardless of Siegel's mental state, or what prompted him to act in whatever inappropriate way he acted, I hope that privacy adovcates, or people who oppose adoptees' rights to their own geneology, don't stoop to use this as a chest-thumping example of why adoption records should be sealed. If there is a history of mental instability, as it appears in Siegel's case, then, fine. Give the person a psychological evaluation and make him jump through hoops. I jumped through hoops. It was annoying, but it was worth it because I meant no harm. Nothing about my search was disingenuous.
