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.
