Welcome to the Search and Reunion Message Board! Here is some information for searching in Saskatchewan. I hope you find it helpful in your search. General Searching Information for Adoptees born in Canada and taken to the USA. If anyone was born in Canada and adopted by American adoptive parents and taken to the United States, contact the US Dept. of Immigration and obtain a copy of your Entry Visa. This form should show your full birthname. This is required for all persons taking up permanent residence in the U.S. Registry Post Adoption Registry Saskatchewan Social Services 11th Floor 1920 Broad Street Regina, SK S4P 3V6 Tel: (306)787-3654 Toll Free:1-800-667-7539 Fax: (306)787-0925 Other Contacts Senior Program Consultant, Adoption, Teen & Young Parent - Lynn Allan: (306) 787-5698 Post Adoption Services Program Supervisor - Walter Andres: (306) 787-3618 Post Adoption Worker - Ruth Genoway: (306) 787-3082 Post Adoption Worker - Rheta Hodgins: (306) 787-3655 Post Adoption Worker - Maurine Hawley: (306) 787-3654 Adoption Registry Worker - Bev Wilson: (306) 787-3653 Adoption Resources - Lori Alderson (Saskatoon): (306)933-6056 Non-Identifying Information There is no fee for non-identifying information, but a copy of an adoption order is $15.00. Usually prepared within four weeks, but can be longer. Passive Registry The Passive Registry enables an individual to express a willingness to exchange information with your birth parent/adoptee and is free of charge. If there is a match, the adoptee or adoptive parent must pay a $35 registration fee and a $90 contact by mutual request fee. Passive Register for Birth Relatives: If you are a birth parent or other family member, you may request that your name be placed in an adoptee's file in the event that an adoptee requests a search or contact in the future. Other birth family members, such as siblings or grandparents, may request contact, but contact is normally cleared first with the birth mother. When an adoptee requests contact and the request is mutual, the registry will move as quickly as possible to facilitate a meeting, averaging within two months of the date of registration. As of Sept. 1/96 , for adoptions finalized before Sept.1/96 with the written consent of the adopted adult and birth parent, a copy of the adopted adult's original birth registration may be released. This registration contains information that identifies both parties concerned. Active Search Active searches, also known as search and contact, can now be done on behalf of Birth Parents as well as Adult Adoptees. The cost for an active search is $265. An additional fee of $175 is charged for search and contact with second and subsequent family members. As of this writing, the current waiting period for an active search is two years or longer. It should be noted that there are reduced rates for STUDENTS in full time attendance of school, individuals on Social Assistance, Employment Insurance (including those collecting benefits while on maternity leave) and Senior Citizens. Counselling Prior to a reunion, the registry prefers to have personal contact with the adoptee and the birth parent. This contact is frequently by telephone. Referrals for counselling are sometimes made to an agency. Informational counselling is available upon request.
