Yes they have a right to know. There are many Pro's like seeing what you actually look like beside them, meeting them for the first time, hearing their voices, spending time you lost together. However there are many Cons like, people fake to be the right person, they don't want to know who you are, you look nothing like them, they have drug addiction, alcohol addiction anything. But it is better to find out than it just being a dream. Hope that is enough for you.

it all depends on what kind of adoption it was.. open adoption means that birth parents have a right to search for their kids and kids have a right to search for their parents. but if its a closed or private adoption it means that some one (birth parents or adopted parents) don't want the child to find their birth parents... for that you would have to speak to a social worker or some one who is involved in the legal custody and adopted children...

Can you be emancipated from your legal guardian if he isn't your biological parent?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. But, if you live in the US... If you're about to be legally adopted, then your biological parents parental rights will be terminated (and your adoptive parents will gain those rights). Therefore, there's no need for emancipation from your biological parents, because they'll no longer have rights over you. Now, if what you're really asking is can you be emancipated in order to then be adopted--no. That's not the purpose of emancipation. In order to be adopted, your adoptive parents have to go through the normal legal process, which includes termination of parental rights (and that can be voluntary or involuntary, but to terminate involuntarily, they need a very good case).
