Equal Rights not Separate Rights for Adoptees!

March 12, 2003

Open Records in Alberta Canada, but remove Contact Vetos!

Alberta Legislative Assembly Bill 24: The Child Welfare Amendment Act, purports to open records to adoptees, but contains a disclosure veto, Section 74.2(4), "prohibiting the release of personal information in the orders, certificates and documents." This provision in Bill 24 treats adult adoptees as if they are perpetual children who must have their birth parents' permission to access their own birth certificates.

This bill is currently in second reading and could soon be brought to a third and final reading in the Legislative Assembly.

PLEASE WRITE or CALL

the Assembly Members. URGE THEM TO VOTE AGAINST THIS BILL, unless these provisions are removed.
