Jenebou – Rather than asking a yes/no question, as you’ve done above, perhaps you want to explore more broadly how children are affected by the knowledge that they are adopted. You will need to see what kind of research exists to answer this question; you may find that you need to adjust your question to better fit the material available. For example, maybe there is research that compares adopted children who are aware that they are adopted to those who are unaware. I am concerned that the scenario you described – in which someone “finds out” he/she is adopted only as a teenager or young adult – is one that hasn’t been researched much.
