題目：閱讀測驗【103初等各類科第46到50題】

When people get married, they usually plan to have children. Sometimes, however, a couple cannot have a child of their own. In this case, they may decide to adopt a child. Some people prefer to adopt infants; others adopt older children. Some couples adopt children from their own countries; others adopt children from foreign countries. Some people adopt children of their same race; others adopt children of different races.

  Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and child care experts generally think this is a good idea. However, many adoptees have very little information about their biological mother and father. As a matter of fact, it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed. The information is confidential, so no one can see it. Sealed documents protect both adoptees and their natural parents.
