MY DOB FEB/08/1987 sound familiar?!?!?

Rosalie Hall is a unwed mothers home...now considered a teenage pregnancy center. Have you asked them for information? If you dont have the address here it is Rosalie Hall 3020 Lawrence Ave. E., Scarborough, Ont. M1P 2T7 416-438-6880 They should allow you to at least put a letter in your file if nothing else. Another good thing to try is Canadopt, a support forum. [url]http://www.canadopt.ca/[/url]

I would contact but Im only 16 and i dont think they will give me any information unless i have my parents permission or unless im 18

I realized your age, are you saying you dont have your parents support? No they may not give you information, but they will allow you to place something in her file.

No unfortunately it's kind of a sore subject that no one likes to bring up...they won't tell me her name or even my name at birth. Im trying though. and i didnt know that i could place something in her file...thank you

I am not certain what level of openness your parents had with your birthmother, but I do know another Rosalie Hall birthmother who stated that she too had recieved pictures of her child throughout the years. What happens is there is a file opened at your adoption, the adoptive parents can send letters updates pictures ect, the birthmother can send letters pictures updates ect to Rosalie Hall. They then either send them to the rightful people or they keep them on site until they are picked up by either party. I am making a big guess but it would be my guess that if your birthmother did recieve pictures that she would have either reciprecated with her own or a letter of some sort to you. which may very well still be in her file..the problem is Ontario laws state that you do have to wait until you are 18 to get these. BUT there is absolutely nothing stopping you from entering your own letter. I am not certain how you go about it, let me find out and get back to you.

Thanks again fro replying. I do know that she did leave a letter for me but my parents told me that I cannot access it until im 18 years of age. I will look into leaving my own letter and will call and ask. Thank you so much for all your reply's.

No the agency will not let you access her/your file until you turn 18 but your parents sure can get it for you...have you asked??

it would depend if your adoption was private or open, if it is private, you have to be 19 before you can get your results (or i suppose 18 in some provinces) i recently got my information, and i'm 20. i wish you the best of luck in gaining information!

oh, in ontario you'd most likely have to be 19 since it's the legal age. it used to be 18 in canada, but that changed a few years ago. also, i don't know what your parents could do about getting the information for you unless they did actually have contact. my adoption was private and the 2 families had absolutely no contact with each other.
