As new reproductive technologies become more available, parents and professionals alike must struggle increasingly with the issue of the child's knowledge and perception of his or her biologic origins. In this article, several prevailing approaches dealing with disclosure or nondisclosure of this essential fact about the child's existence are presented and examined. Whereas there are no currently available reliable empirical data on the impact of either approach, an interim rationale is proposed, based on accepted child development and psychological maturation principles, which favors well-timed and developmentally appropriate disclosure.
