Despite some recent attitudinal and legislative changes, release of adoption information is largely limited and conditional. This paper identifies several issues inherent in the sealed records controversy and argues that cohesive policy formulation depends on systematic examination of the views of those most directly affected. Findings of a three-year study of adoptees, adoptive parents, birth parents, and adoption agency workers are presented
