That's according to a study by Aitheantas.
Adopted people reported very few positive experiences in their interaction with agencies in trying to obtain information about their origins.
That's according to a survey by Aitheantas.
It says "Ireland is the only EU country that does not grant adoptees the right to access their adoption files, personal information, contained within themand information regarding biological family history and health history"
Furthermore, the advocacy group says "Adoptees have no automatic access to their own birth certificate, no automatic right to know if
they have siblings or whether they have siblings whowere also placed for adoption, no right to know who their biological parents are and no accessto knowledge on any potential hereditary medical conditions."
The survey had a total of 468 participants, most of whom were adoptees. Other participants were children or family members of adoptees.

“Worryingly, but unsurprisingly, very few respondents to our survey detailed a positive experience interacting with any agency currently tasked with supporting adult adoptees." Maree Ryan-O'Brien, @aitheantas Founder via @Independent_ie https://t.co/X9lu6McbzK
