Eventually the heat does get to the residents and a few ot them begin to shed their sweaters. No doubt passers-by will notice that some of the residents take advantage of the shade tree near the highway and spend part of their day on their loung- ing chairs. Fortunately our auditorium is•` sheltered from the direct rays of the sun which keeps it cool enough that activities such as the usual exercises, shuffleboard and group singing can be held. Of course, warm or cold, no one wishes to miss the bingo which is played on Friday evenings. Mrs. Fern Love is presently in South Huron Hospital, Exeter. Mrs. Margaret Adams has not yet return- ed from the hospital. The Sunday evening chapel service was conducted by Rev. Charles Henderson of Thames Road United Church. V v V • ANEW APPROACH TO ADOPTION DISCLOSURE IN ONTARIO v NOT ALL ADOPTED CHILDREN GROW UP WANTING TO KNQW ABOUT THEIR BIRTH '$ARENTS. BUT FOR THOSE WHO DO, THE PROCESS HAS OFTEN BEEN FRUS- TRATING AND INCONCLUSIVE. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR PARENT -S, GRANDPARENTS, BROTHERS OR SISTERS SEARCHING FOR A CHILD PLACED FOR ADOPTION YEARS AGO. ON JULY 6. 1987. AMENDMENTS TO ADOPTION LEGISLATION CHANGED THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING ADOPTION INFORMATION IN ONTARIO. - NON -IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, IF AVAILABLE, SUCH AS THE. BIRTH -FAMILY'S BACKGROUND AND MEUICAL I:IISTORY. WILL BE RE- LEASED ON REQUEST .TO ADULT ADOPTED PERSONS (THOSE 18 OR OLDER); AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADOPTIVE FAMILY'S BACK- GROUND WILL BE GIVEN TO ADULT BIRTH RELATIVES, UPON REQUEST. INFORMATION THAT REVEALS THE IDENTITY OF AN ADULT ADOP- TEE OR A BIRTH RELATIVE WILL BE SHARED ONLY IF BOTH PARTIES HAVE VOLUNTARILY ENTERED THEIR NAMES WITH THE ADOPTION DISCLOSURE REGISTER AND CONSENTED TO DISCLOSURE. THE CONSENT OF ADOPTIVE PARENTS IS NO LONGER REQUIRED. - IF BIRTH RELATIVES HAVE NOT REGISTERED, AN ADULT ADOPTEE CAN REQUEST A SEARCH. HOWEVER: CONFIDENTIALITY -IS PRO- TECTED THROUGHOUT. IF LOCATED, BIRTH RELATIVES CAN SIMPLY• DECIDE NOT TO HAVE THEIR IDENTITIES MADE KNOWN. THE ISSUES AND EMQTIQNS SURROUNDING ADOPTION INFOR- MATION ARE COMPLEX. SO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE IS PROVIDED AT EVERY STAGE. THE PROCESS WILL ALSO TAKE TIME. SINCE A LARGE NUMBER.OF REQUESTS ALREADY EXIST. ALL THE NEW PROCEDURES AND SERVICES ARE OUTLINED IN A FREE -PAMPHLET. AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND IN FRENCH.
