After all, there is no legal precedent for O'Connor's decision. And, says TIME senior reporter Alain Sanders, "there is no right answer to this dilemma." On the one hand, Sanders explains, the right to privacy is critical to citizenship, and most birth mothers give up their children with the understanding that their identity will be fiercely and permanently protected.
