问题     Kathy Allen has breast cancer. She needs to know which kind of medicine to take.
    Doctors want to know the medical history of her family. But Kathy was adopted and doesn’t know who her parents are
    More than two thousand, adoptees in Oregon have applied for a birth certificate that would tell them the name of their birth mothers. Any adoptee over 21 years old who was born in Oregon can get a birth certificate for $15.
    Kathy Allen says of the opportunity, "It’s like getting the key to [my] diary. The diary is my life and it has been locked up for a long time, and having the key might enable me to open up the book and maybe see some answers that I have been wondering about."
    The new law was passed in 1988. The new law has been fought in court, but now it is going into effect.
    Some birth mothers don’t want anyone to find them. When they gave up their babies for adoption they were told it would remain private. Under the new law they can choose to keep their name private, but the adopted children may be able to find them anyway.
    A court decided that the need to know about your birth mother was more important than the privacy of the birth mothers.
    Kansas, Delaware, Tennessee, and Alaska have laws that allow adoptees to get birth certificates. Oregon is the first state that let the people of the state vote on the issue.

C、She needed to know what medicine would be best for her.
D、She wants privacy.
