as I'm writing a script for my project (www.fablefoxisstronger.com), it come to a moment where I need to do some research. I've been googling certain things, just want some clarification. NOTE: I'm not american, but I'm targeting American and European market. Let just say business decision.

Anyway, here is some question:

- adopted child won't know their real parents name until they are 18, right? but foster children know it all the time?

- for the baby surrender thing, will the bracelet given allow you to identify you baby 18 years later? this is due to no question ask policy, it's hard for the child to find their parent, and the only link/proof would be the bracelet.

just asking around in case someone here have experience in this. maybe when i sort things up later (this part of storyline and all) I'll ask the correct autorities.

No. An adopted child is considered a person's legal child.

A foster child is one that the foster parents take a payment to keep while they wait for it to be adopted. The foster system is set up to avoid having orphanages, but it's easy to think of them as being an orphanage for a single child.

Each system has nothing to do with knowing the biological parent. Neither an adopted or foster child will know their biological parent unless they were separated at an age where they would remember them, or if the biological parent makes an effort to keep in touch.

In most states, if you give up a child, you are allow you to leave identification for a child to obtain at 18 if the child chooses to. In a lot of cases, the parent chooses not to leave anything, or asks if the child does not contact them. You can still get this information if you are a medical doctor, which is why some information brokers pretend to be doctors to obtain these records.

Edit: Confusing wording.
