Adoption is a secret?

What I read

      From reading the article about world war II , I questioned about people or citizen who were in that time and have been affected. Then I tried to go on the internet  for more information and I found an interesting story named " The mystery of the baby in the box".

What it says

     Peter Robin King , 74 years old man , was abandoned in a box on street when he was 10 years old and adopted by the Kings . Peter and his daughter tracked down about her father's past for reuniting the families and solving the mysteries. However the traces show Peter's ancestors and siblings , he was upset and doubt why  his biological parent decided to leave him.

My response 

         I believe everyone deserves to know who they really are and how we can identify ourselves. Some people answered me the heredity , nation or tribe.There is no an exact answer and this might be a reason why Peter Robin spent many years discovered his biological parent. So, how does the adopted child feel to discover that adults who have raised you is not his real parent ? and is it good to tell your adopted child that they are adopted?

    Many couples who are unable to have children usually adopt a kid from orphanage hesitate to tell "Where are they from". Often parents who are reluctant to tell their youngster about the adoption because they might feel ashamed or inadequate that they could not have children of their own. Moreover, the child may be sad or angry.

     For me , adoption should not be a secret . It is good to know where you from for benefits in medical issues and it's help to build a strong bond of trust between parent and child. The adopted child may be upset at first but it's a natural reaction. It's better to create positive images of adoption
and show them that this is your family and always will be.

  1. What a long article you chose to read!
    But I agree that it raises interesting issues to respond to, which you do very well. It seems that Peter King was very lucky to have been adopted by a loving couple after his biological parents abandoned him for whatever reason, although they also seem to have been good people, who passed on a set of genes that created a hardworking and loving man in Peter.
