Parents often ask how likely is it for their child to search for their origins. My answer usually surprises them. It's 100 percent. The reason is that most parents misunderstand what searching is all about. Searching begins as an internal process when they ask questions, such as: Who was she? Why was I adopted? It then it becomes an interpersonal process between the parents when they asks these questions and begin a dialogue about adoption. Later on, the child may want more information and the family may contact the agency or go to the country of origin and find out the specifics about the child. Only for a smaller minority -- and we don't have good figures on the percentages on this -- will adoption, as a search process, continue on to find the birth parents. That's usually a phenomenon of adulthood.
