51. That arrangement is not your concern, nor is it a 'civil right'.

Period.

He will be told about the adoption at the correct time and place. He will be told about his birth mother and father's names at the appointed age we agreed with his birth parents to share that information. Not before.

Shame on me for upholding our end of the deal, with the birth parents. I am clearly a bad man.

You clearly know better than I do, and should absolutely alter that arrangement from the outside without any regard for our existing adoption.

Your 'cause' is bullshit. You have problems with YOUR adoption? Fix it. You have legal recourse. Stay away from ours.
