Adoptees should be allowed to know his biological ancestry. It believes Maria Kling Holm, who today still do not know why she was given up for adoption from India. The information about her adoption is in fact extremely scarce.

For a long time she did not give it a thought. Wondered just why she was treated differently from the other kids in town, and just trying to fit into. Maria Kling Holm was given up for adoption from India and came to Denmark at just four months old. She remembers no other parents than the Danish couple who have taken care of her since they picked her up at the airport. Today she is 39 years and still does not know why she grew up in Birkeroed and not Bangalore.

Maria Klingsholm blev i 1974 bortadopteret til Danmark. Sidste sommer rejste hun, manden og datteren (billedet) til Bangalore for at søge efter Marias biologiske familie.

Anders Riel Müller er adopteret fra Sydkorea og har i hele sin ungdom troet, han var forældreløs. Det, fandt han ud af, var en løgn, da han begyndte at søge efter sin historie. Han mener, der skal være større åbenhed i adoptioner, så barnets dokumenter kan følge den adopterede hele livet. Foto: Kasper Palsnov
