Should adoption records be open rather than sealed?

Knowing a few people who have gone the adoption wrought, meaning putting their kids up for adoption they all chose to have an open adoption. They felt that giving their kids up at the time was the right thing to do because the friends that I have to put their kids up for adoption were between the ages of 13 and 16 at the time. They felt that they would be giving their kids a better life by giving them a chance but they wanted to be able to see them grow and see what type of people they became. I feel that people should have the option for closed or open adoption records. It is a personal choice that I think people should be able to make. It is hard enough putting a child up for adoption and some people are ok with the fact of knowing their children but not being mom or dad and some people it is much harder and would rather not keep the wounds open and would rather close them and try to move on as much as a person can. Adoption no matter what if you have a open or closed case is a good thing and there should not be a better choice to have it open or closed.
