How important is it to know ones biological parents, when the child is adopted/surrogate, off from donated sperm?

Child adoption is not something new, however, with the advancement in health sciences and technology surrogate mothers as well sperm donners are becoming part of child adoption where it is often not possible for a child to know who the biolgical parent is.

I believe every human has the right to know who their biological parents were. It is NOT right to hide that in ANY capacity. To this day I am not sure who my biological father was, and because my mother and the man who was supposed to be my father really covered their tracks, I will probably never know the truth and that is wrong
@Xena1234 i absolutely agree with you and i am really sorry to hear that.

Here is something to think about, at least in my situation. Looks like one of my father's (man who raised me) brothers may have been my actual biological father. But, I have no way to prove it, my "uncle/father" never had any (other) children. He died at only 35, so I can't ask him anything. Even Ancestry DNA results does me no good in this case. I can't help but be angry I was lied to.
@Xena1234 wow. That is complicated. Unfortunately people do not think of the out come and long lasting impact of such actions on otheres. In their selfish moment it is all about them.

I also wonder same for those who are left snd dumped by shelters, gabege and the sperm donors or egg donners. ...i guess it is no different than from being born out off a one night stand but sperm donors often want confidentialty agrement which is horrible.
I don't think it's fair that a person isn't able to find their biological parents in the future if they want...some people need to know
@starmitzy i absolutely agree with you.
Every foster, adopted, or orphaned child wants to know who their real parents are. No matter how happy they could be, they're never at peace within.... Always that question pestering their innocent minds.
@Vivaci thank you,i have often wondered about the implications of certain situations.
@aaaabbbb I have watched many documentaries and even a few series based on ancestry.com.

Kids really want to know, unless they were adopted when they were babies and were never told bout their adoptions.
@Vivaci i have also watched many documentaries although had not paid much attention to the issues, however, as they hit home school in the neighborhood as kids begain to wonder about their identity and the family dynamics at home leading to identity issues and questions leading to where did i come from and why my father is not in my life.
It is important for the adoptee not for the adoptive parents.
