Hello everyone,



Effective today, June 1, 2009, Ontario adoption records will be opened.

This means adopted adults and birth parents will be given access to

identifying information from birth records and adoption orders.



If the adoption order was made before September 1, 2008, adopted adults

and birth parents can file a disclosure veto to prevent the release of

the information.  If you want your identifying information kept

private, you should have filed a disclosure veto before today.



No contact notices are also available.
