Adoption records in Scotland

Post by Thunder »

This is the week for leaks it would appear. I don't agree that names of adopted people more than 100 years ago should be redacted, it is no worse than the images of the births of illegitimate children 100 years ago (our grandfather was one in 1893). What possible harm could it do in 2023?, I agree more recent ones (from 1922 onwards) should not be revealed until 100 years have elapsed. I think some people need thicker skins.
