Adopted children use Facebook to contact parents

ADOPTION agencies have confirmed that some birth relatives and adopted children have made contact with each other through Facebook, despite concerns over the psychological impact such instant contact could have.

Charities in Britain have warned about the dangers of some birth parents — particularly those who may have been abusive in the past — seeking to track down their birth children online and re-establishing contact.

In some cases it has been reported that the adopted children displayed troubled behaviour after their parents had re-established contact.
