Anyone here adopted?

My wife was, but she has little interest in meeting her birth parents, outside of medical history.

Don't need med history. Just take good care of yourself and treat for the worst case.

I think that a lot of people obsess about weather they might have some condition or other. Just deal with whatever life brings you in a positive way.

Yes and no. There are lots of hereditary diseases that one might want to know if one had a family history of. It's true that you can't do anything about a lot of them but you can for others. For example if your family is riddled with breast cancer then it would be prudent to know so that you could get more frequent breast exams (same with other cancers). Even if you look after yourself perfectly genes still play a big role.
