Facebook and other modern communication technologies are allowing people to reconnect after many years of silence. In fact, those who are adopted have found their birth parents - and vice versa.

But is that a good thing?

In this edition of Up to Date, bioethicist Glenn McGee of the Center for Practical Bioethics talks about adoption in a high-tech age. We'll look at adopted children and parents reconnecting, how assisted reproductive technologies like egg and sperm donation are changing the face of adoption, and recent adoption news in Missouri.
