THW ban biological parents from contacting children they gave up for adoption

I just want to clear any misunderstanding; I had no intention of communicating that my knowledge about the debate style (THW format) puts me in the running for this debate. On with the arguments and rebuttals. .. As the instigator supporting the CON side of this debate, my responsibility is to refute to what the PRO side has stated. Contact is defined as close proximity or association and therefore I must support that immediate association should be allowed; in affect, I support that contact between the biological parents and the child (As defined by the contender) should not be banned. On the definitions and terms that the contender has placed I will be refuting the following claims made by my opponent: -When you give up a child for adoption, you lose the intrinsic right that you have to the child. -". .. A biological parent involving a close and intimate relationship from an adopted child's perspective would destroy the concept of a parentage in its ad vocation. " According to the definition of the bill, biological parents contacting children they gave up for adoption should be banned; however, that doesn't omit the possibility of an adopted child trying to contact his/her biological parents. Though the legal stipulations do favour the fact that biological parents loose the rights they have to their children when they put them up for adoption, the law does not forbid adopted children from communicating with them. The adopted child has right to information about the biological parent, whether it be medical or family history. "If the proposed adoptee is over the age of ten, twelve, or fourteen, certain states will require his or her consent before allowing adoption. Adoption law is generally governed by state laws. All the 50 states have statutes governing adoption. Eight of them have adopted the Uniform Adoption Act. " Public policy believes in the complete detachment between the adopted child and the natural parents (biological parents). It's natural for people who are adopted to wonder about their birth families (also called biological families) and where they came from. This curiosity often becomes more intense as part of the process of self-discovery that happens during the teenage years. Sometimes there are health reasons, or other important reasons, for searching for one's birth family. Strictly cutting of the tie between biological parents and their children could be detrimental to the development of the child when they are trying to find out who they are and what roots they were genetically born with. "In certain states, adopted children may get access to the medical records of their biological parents where states have implemented an adoption registry. The adoption registry allows consenting biological parents to submit family medical history, accessible to adopted children. " Why would a child want to have access to medical records? This may be important for treating certain diseases such as bone marrow cancer, that can be treated by accessing bone marrow from someone genetically similiar. Why would the child need to come into close proximity of their natural parents when it isn't needed? When looking at a case of organ donation, emotional aspects come into play when we consider the perspective of the child (again depending on his/her age). He/she might want to meet his/her natural parents when such medical procedures are involved. Also, biological parents may have a reason to put their children up for adoption and that reason may range from inability to maintain good living conditions for the child and provide him/her a prosperous future due to an extrinsic force(like financial conflict) to the struggles of teen parents and their incapability to raise a child. Sometimes, it can be caused by havoc in the country or territory. Very rarely would you find parents put their child up for adoption because they don't want it. There are many reasons why contact between natural parents and their children should not be cut off if the child as new parents/legal guardians and that is why I strongly stand by my side of the bill.
