Subject: Open Records: Access to Adoption Records in Ontario, June 1, 2009

 

 

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.  

 

See the websites below for more information:
