It is so sad, that the generation today most do not know their father not like we did in our generation when men were real:"""men and raised their children?""""

you are so right. i knew my dad he show me how to use a pocket knife how to hunt and fish. he told me how to be a man and what a man was to do in this world take care of his family. that was the order of the day. and that is what i did.. my dad told me to keep my pant up unless i was ready to take on the responsibility of a family and he told me what that responsibility was. when he saw me acting badly to my wife he took me aside and talk to me letting me know that was not the way it was going to be and if i did not like it he would kick my butt. my dad also showed what giving a days work for a days pay was. never being late to work always going in to work. that kind of thing.. and that is how i am to this day

First, that's a very "newspaper headline" way to ask this question. =) Second it's a tough question to answer (and I was not aware that it occurs). I'm assuming it's a matter of protecting the birth parents' identities. So who gains more? The adopted child having access to the original, or the birth parents keeping their identities hidden? On the other side of the coin, who loses more? The adopted child not having access, or the birth parents losing the anonymity they were promised? I'd have to say the birth parents' rights should hold precedence, given the nature of the adoption agreement. Not every story of an adopted child finding their birth parents would turn out like a Lifetime movie. Some could be quite nasty, I'd think. Your views are just that...yours. There are many people out there with no compunction towards harming others. Err on the side of caution. An applicable axiom in this case.

It must be very difficult for kids in divided families to feel any real attachment to a dad they see only on alternate weekends, or whenever the courts mandate. It's hard to tell what generation you are from, but many fathers in the olden days weren't that close to their kids either - they were a constant presence in the house, but they didn't have much to do with raising their children on a day to day basis.

Mine wasnt a "real man". He left when I was 6. I got a birthday card & a Christmas card from him every year. Sometimes, there was $5 in the card. He did not pay child support. Mom had to struggle to take care of us. I saw him for a few minutes when I was about 16.
Dad came back after I'd married, wanting money and a free place to stay from me. He was short tempered, and mean to my kids.
My husband did all the things for our kids that my dad never did for us. There for the kids every inch of the way. Today, we are celebrating Father's Day for my husband. He deserves it.

I lost my dad when he was only 45, my grand-dad died at 58, my husband died at 56, and none of my sons are dads yet.
