it may also be helpful for the adopted to know the parents for medical reasons, but it isn't a certainty that the people that gave up an infant for adoption would have welcoming arms for someone they haven't seen in a quarter century.

Having an adopted child reveal themselves decades later could affect marriages and cause conflict with the biological parent(s) or siblings. Other than for medical reasons, I have my doubts about the law because of the potential to do harm to people who believed that they had closed that particular door in life.
