Family Forum / Parenting / Adoption / July 2009

For some reason your link comes up 'file requested not found', Steve.
Is this http://www.mcss.gov.on.ca/mcss/english/pillars/community/programs/adoptInfo/inde
x.htm?247SEM
what you saw?
Hope the above works. In case it doesn't, here's the noxious part:
'Protecting your privacy
Adopted adults and birth parents also have the option to protect the
privacy of their post-adoption birth information. Adopted adults and
birth parents can:
file a notice of contact preference to specify how they would like to
be contacted
file a no contact notice if they do not want to be contacted, but are
willing to have their identifying information released
file a disclosure veto if the adoption was finalized before September
1, 2008. This will prevent identifying post-adoption birth information
from being released.'

What I don't understand is who so many people who supposedly support
open records profess to be happy about this travesty.
Especially when the original bill was passed and then gutted.
