That can be extremely harmful for the child. If that was my child I would forbid you to ever see him again. That would be breaking a trust. If you have the need to tell you wait until they are 18 and let their parents know first that you are going to do so because they are the ones that has to deal with the mess. The birth parents are allowed to contact the child when he is an adult. If you tell them and they look the child up you are partly responsible. Think ahead before attempt breaking a family. Being an adoptive child can be hard enough. You are not doing the child or his family a favor. just telling the child means you should be bale to back it up with proof. And you don't have that since the records are sealed. So no I can't find anywhere that it's illegal but if the child take harm from this I wouldn't be surprised of the family get a restraining order and might even sue you. The choice is theirs and should always be theirs. They are the parents.

The above answer is correct although it does not state that it is not illegal to reveal the whereabouts of an adopted child to his natural parents or inform an adopted child that he is adopted and reveal the whereabouts of his parents, regardless of the child's age. However, as the person above has expressed, it would really be very unwise to do this if the child is happy where he/she is at the moment. If the biological parents have decided they want to find the child they have to adhere to the correct procedure for this, which they will be aware of - it is not for you to intervene. Unless the child in question is being abused or is miserable there can be no positive outcome for intervening in this way, and even if this was the case you should inform the police/authorities, not the biological parents.
