Ontarios voluntary Adoption Disclosure Register allows adopted adults, birth parents, birth grandparents and birth siblings over the age of 18 to voluntarily place their names on a register to obtain or exchange information in order to contact each other.

If your name was on the register prior to April 24, 2006, you will still be on the register. However, you should contact us to ensure your information is up to date in case a family match is found.

To place your name on the register or to update your information, please go to [url=http://www.ServiceOntario.ca]ServiceOntario: Making It Easier - Government of Ontario, Canada / Gouvernement de l'Ontario, Canada[/url] or call 416-325-8305, toll free 1-800-461-2156.
