Nationality generally means genetic origin.
In this case, the child can take on the national cultures, the name common in the nationality, and otherwise identify with the nationality.
However, taking on the parents' nationality isn't totally possible, since nationality has a DNA component.
However, if the child's DNA in some ways parallels the DNA of one or both of the parents, then the nationality in the genetic sense already matches.
In America in the recent past -- as late as the 1950s -- children were commonly 'paired' physically with adoptive parents so that if the parents wanted to keep the adoption a secret from the child, it would be possible. Today, however, this practice is not so common.

Why are adopted children made fun of?
All children are made fun of. The taunting stops when a child learns to handle it or how fight back effectively. An adopted child has to learn to say, "I am special, my parents chose me, your parents had to take what they got." If it keeps up, he or she has to say, "Your parents had to take the jerk they got." Thus, a good answer can solve the problem. Life has bullies. Schools now have policies on dealing with them.

Is it illegal for an outsider to tell an adopted child who is still under aged the whereabouts of his birth parents or tell the birth parents the whereabouts of the adopted child?
That can be extremely harmful for the child. If that was my child I would forbid you to ever see him again. That would be breaking a trust. If you have the need to tell you wait until they are 18 and let their parents know first that you are going to do so because they are the ones that has to deal with the mess. The birth parents are allowed to contact the child when he is an adult. If you tell them and they look the child up you are partly responsible. Think ahead before attempt breaking a family. Being an adoptive child can be hard enough. You are not doing the child or his family a favor. just telling the child means you should be bale to back it up with proof. And you don't have that since the records are sealed. So no I can't find anywhere that it's illegal but if the child take harm from this I wouldn't be surprised of the family get a restraining order and might even sue you. The choice is theirs and should always be theirs. They are the parents. NEW ANSWER The above answer is correct although it does not state that it is not illegal to reveal the whereabouts of an adopted child to his natural parents or inform an adopted child that he is adopted and reveal the whereabouts of his parents, regardless of the child's age. However, as the person above has expressed, it would really be very unwise to do this if the child is happy where he/she is at the moment. If the biological parents have decided they want to find the child they have to adhere to the correct procedure for this, which they will be aware of - it is not for you to intervene. Unless the child in question is being abused or is miserable there can be no positive outcome for intervening in this way, and even if this was the case you should inform the police/authorities, not the biological parents.

Is there laws against adopted minors communicating with birth parents?
The law that says you are a minor and your parents decides over you. There are open adoptions so if the parents agree with each other when the adoption take place the child and birth parents can still have contact. That is not legally enforceable though and the adoptive parents can change their mind at any time.
