The right of a person to know his or her heritage, including biological parents, is guaranteed by Polish constitutional and private law as well as by European Convention on Human Rights and UN Convention on Rights of Children. The right is deeply rooted in human dignity and for that reason protected by art. 30 of the Constitution, which declares that the inherent and inalienable dignity of the person shall constitute a source of all personal rights. Knowledge of one's own heritage is integral to personality development and self-identity, facilitates a harmonious unfolding of personality.
