Historical Background
of Adoption
|
 |
We
believe:
- the closed
adoption system negatively impacts adoptees, first relatives, and adoptive
relatives
- every
member of the adoption community deserves to be treated with respect
- adoption
is a life-long process, which may affect individuals in varying degrees
at differing times in life.
We
support:
- the right
of every adult adoptee to obtain copies of his/her original Statement
of Life Birth
- the
right of every adult adoptee and first relative to obtain identifying
information about relatives lost through adoption and fostering
- the
right of adult adoptees and first parents to obtain a copy of files
pertaining to the adoption held by the children's aid society, government
agencies and hospital.
