201000955 Hannah Kim Adopted people, their Right to know their Past   Many people argue that for adopted children, their parents who raise them should have rights to decide whether to show their biological mothers to the kids. They concern that these parents who raise the adopted children can feel betrayal for their kids if their children want to know their birth parents. On the other hand, there are also other side that suggests that adopted people have right to know their origin or root. For that, they can see and meet their birth parents and know who they are. For this controversial issue, I am on the latter side. I believe that there are no problems to let the adoptees meet their biological parents after they grew up. It would be positive for them because they can know where they came from and be grateful even more to their parents who raised them.   To begin with, all the people have a curiousity for their birth and this is just same for the adopted. It can be even worse for them, because the parents who are raising the adoptees are not  ones who gave them birth. In some cases, the nationalities of children and parents can be differnet and this can cause a confusion to the kids because of the different appearance between them and their adopters. Then, it is natural for the adopted people to wish to see their real, birth parents once and find their identity. Therefore, it should be permitted for the adopted to meet their biological parents all the time they want. Although some adopters want to make their kids not meet their birth parents, it is not something that can be controlled by adopters or others. Meeting their own, biological mother is just a privacy and no one can decide what the adoptees do instead of them.   Not only that, after knowing their birth parents, the adopted can feel even more grateful feelings to the adopters, or the parents now. Maybe, the biological parents explained the reasons for not being able to raise them. In many cases, the birth parents want to see their children many years later after their kids are adopted because they want to apologize. Then, the adoptees may feel that they could be not nurtured well if there were no their parents who raised them. This can provide a chance for the children and the adopters to think onece more about their existence and the gratefulness of it.   Although some argue that if kids find their biological, it is really bad for their adopters' emotion, since they can feel kind of betrayal to their children and think that it is vein to raise kids that they did not give birth. The reason for this is that, the parents who adopted kids may feel when their kids start to find their biological parents, that the kids do not think them as real parents till now. They may also feel that it is of no use to take care of them with all the effort and hard work and to cherish them as their real children. However, it is not true to say so. The children cannot forget their parents' hard work of taking care of them just because they saw everything, living with them. Also, because people can feel all the feelings that others have toward them, the adoptees will definitely conscious that their parents kept loving and cherishing them. If the children say all these feelings they have to their parents who adopted and raised them, there cannot be any misunderstandings between the two. In the end, I find there are no problems, just finding their birth parents.   In conclusion, there will be no problems for both adoptees and the adopters if they let the adopted meet their biological parents. The adopted people can find their identity by knowing the birth parents, looking like them and think their adopters are very grateful. The parents who adopted the children also feel more appreciations to their kids with their existence.
