Information Veto
Adult adoptees are members all walks of life, many are parents, active
members in their communities and productive members of Canadian society.
Because they were adopted they are denied the civil and human rights that
all other adult Canadian citizens enjoy and take for granted.
Adult citizens are prohibited by law from accessing personal records that
pertain to their historical, genetic and legal identities by most
Canadian provincial governments because they were adopted.
While access to records is a step forward by the Alberta Government, the government.
It fails to deal with several important fact. it allows the birth parent
and the adoptive parent to have a veto.
Birth parents surrendered all rights to the adoptee, the adoptee never surrendered any of their rights.
Adult adoptees are not children and the Alberta Government of Alberta should not be party to withholding information that is the adoptees information.
The files that the government withholds are about he adult adoptee.
By allowing birth parents and adoptive parents a veto, the adoptee the Alberta
government treats adult adoptee as children. Even the Web site where
the access to adoption records is the Alberta Government child's services web
site.
Even the act that implements that Adult Adoptee's are children by calling the
changes the "Child, Youth & Family Enhancement Act".
Alberta adoptee's still can not have their original birth certificate, many adoptees birth certificates are dated many years after their birth.
Searching
Searching is a highly personal choice and should not be taken lightly.
Now with the changes some adoptee's will be forced to search to find out and information at all.
Not all adoptee's wish to search what ever choice you make it is the
right choice for you.
If you choose to search or not to search, an adoptee should have the
right to access the files the government holds on each adoptee.
To get basic health , genetic and historical information that all other
Canadians take for
granted many adoptees search.
