The laws have chaned in several states to allow open records and the rate of adoption did not change. Very, very few women chose adotion today and want secrecy. Relinquishing a child is no longer viewed as a shameful dirty secret that must be kept, thank God. Most placements involve a level of openness. The archaic practices have mostly been retired and adoptees are being given the same rights and consideration as non adopted people.
