Adoption and True Parents

[satz]

I was just wondering;

If a child was to be adopted and raised by adoptive parents, should the discovery of the identity of his or her natural parents mean anything to that child? Does the child have any obligation to the natural parents?

Obligation as in what? As far as I know they have no LEGAL obligation.

 

[satz]

I meant moral or biblical obligation.

Don't think so. Respect as elders, sure. But beyond that, nope, not in my opinion.

Not necessarily, but it if they chose to reclaim that part of their family, then yes, they would. Having a relationship with them though does not mean they are turning away the adopted family. And my advice to adoptive parents would be to be fully supportive.
