Well in rooting through my old computer files I finally found the quote from>the Pope that I told you I had seen some time ago.
Now all you have to do is show the Bishops that Articles 2, 4, 7 and 8>of the UN Convention guarantee the right to identity and the>right to know (biological) parents, without discrimination of any kind,
including birth or other status.

     "There exists the Convention on the Rights of the Child,
     adopted at the United Nations in 1989 and already signed by
     many States, including the Holy See.  I hope that more and
     more States will ensure the juridical force and practical
     application of the Convention, so that no child on earth will
     be left without the legal guarantee of his or her fundamental
     rights."
