| Terry O'Connor | NDP | A sister is adopted | with contact vetoes | with contact vetoes | Thanks for contacting me. I will do my best to answer your questions, however I have to be honest and say I am not well informed since I have not had discussions about this. I would prefer to listen to people who have done some thinking and talking about the issues. Having said that, I will give my best "off the top of my head" answers.
One of my sisters was adopted but we didn't know, and neither did she, until she was an adult. It caused her a lot of grief not having known earlier. As I mentioned earlier, I am somewhat uninformed and would appreciate hearing more about the issues involved. |
