The Provincial Committee on
the disclosure of adoption records
has recommended Ontario permit
some exchange of adoption
information on a carefully
restricted basis. These recom-
' mendations will now be reviewed
by James Taylor, Minister of
Community and Social Services,
who appointed the Committee in
February to recommend a pro-
vincial policy.
"My concern is that adoption
information should not be made
too freely available as it is a
highly sensitive and personal
matter. We must develop a
provincial policy which takes into
account the adoptee's desire to
know about his or her heritage,
the biological parents' right to
privacy and the adoptive parent's
desire to feel secure in their
relationship with the adoptee,"
said James Taylor, on the report.
The report of the 12-person
Committee recommends that a
Registry be established to enable
adopted children and biological
parents to contact each other or
exchange information where they
are both agreeable, and where
the adopted child is over 18 years
of age.
In most cases, the Registry
would play a passive role, as
recommended by the Committee.
It would record the names of
adoptees and biological parents
wishing a reunion. It would not
actively arrange reunions or
provide identifying information
when only one party registered.
When two parties registered, a
mediator, named by the Province,
would counsel both parties about
