Should the adoptees have the right to know who there biological parents are?

Should the adoptees have the right to know who there biological parents are?
Over 120000 kids are adopted each year, in that time have you ever wondered if the kids who were adopted knew there own parents, or even wanted to know if that was possible? Well less than half actually know there biological parents. Should this be true or false?
SHOULDN’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW

 In the article Adoption Law: Privacy Must Be Protected” Windsor Star, they influence the parents not to adopt. The authors purpose is inform us about how it’s not a good idea to adopt. The main idea is the adoptees finding there biological parents. The purpose is to show parents that telling the adoptees (children getting adopted) who there biological parents are is a bad idea. The text structure is description because he is describing and giving examples. The author’s viewpoint is to inform us about adopting a kid and how it’s not so good to tell them who there biological parents are. I think this because Star uses neutral like “aims” or “easier”.  There is no conflicting evidence.

SHOULD.
In the article Adoptees Get to See There Birth Certificate” by Chicago tribune, works to inform adoptees that they have a right to see there biological parents. The authors purpose is to inform us about how the kids should be able to see there birth certificate. The author’s main idea is to tell us about how it’s important to show these kids there birth certificate. The text structure is compare and contrast because in the article it says one thing and try’s to compare it; this supports it because in the article Chicago tribune says the good things then compares it to the other. The authors viewpoint is to tell parents that adoptees have the right to look at there birth records. There is no conflicting evidence.

SHOULD!
In the article “parentage, right to know” by ProQuest Staff, the audience is people who are trying to figure out who there biological parents are. ProQuest inform us that adoptees should have the right to know who there biological parents are. The author’s main Idea is to tell us that adoptees should have a right to meet there parents. The text structure is description because ProQuest is description. This has to do with the purpose, viewpoint, and main idea because the purpose is to inform and it’s describing all of that. The author’s viewpoint is that they should have the right, I know this because the article says everything about how they should and then at the end ProQuest says one thing about why they shouldn’t. So I think that ProQuest is leaning towards the side where they are able to see there biological parents, ProQuest also says strong words like “trend” or “toward: or “openness” or “controversy” instead of neutral words. There is conflicting evidence, because ProQuest is stating that they should have the right to know there biological parents. This website has very few ads and links to other sources so it’s trusted and not trying to sell something to us.
