I was born a commodity. So were you if you were adopted as a baby. The time period doesn't matter much - we were all bought. The relationship you have with your adoptive parents is not the issue either. This isn't about that.
The historical roots of adoption in the U.S. are not pretty, and they certainly do not represent anyone's idea of "loving." Think orphan trains, and black-markets - get the idea?
Adoptees should NEVER face a mystery about who they are and from whom they originated. This information is the civil and human right of every human being, inherent at birth. Sealed adoption records are a discriminatory practice that keep millions of adoptees powerless in the eyes of the law.
