The process by which either the birth parent or the adoptee can file a disclosure veto is fairly simple. There is a form provided on the Government of Ontario website that can be filled, printed, then mailed, delivered or couriered to the office of the registrar general. There is a toll free phone number provided on the form that an applicant can call for assistance if necessary. There are guides provided on the same web page for adoptees and birth parents as to how to complete the form in case there are questions. These, and the form, are available at; http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/FormDetail?OpenForm&ACT=RDR&TAB=PROFILE&ENV=WWE&NO=007-11318E
A person with a visual disability would need assistance with the application, as would someone with a disability relating to literacy or a person who does not speak English or French well. The forms are available on the website in both official languages. Any of these people can call the toll-free number available on the form for assistance in completing it.
One barrier that could be significant to some applicants is the need for a mailing address at which government correspondence can be received in a timely manner in order for the application to be processed. For applicants who don’t have a local mailbox for a variety of reasons, this could be a problem since they need to file their veto within the specific time frame of the adoptees 19th year. If they are out of the country or are experiencing some level of homelessness this could become a problem for the processing of their application.
