We plan to look at the history of adoption disclosure as it evolved to the Access to Adoption Records Act (Vital Statistics Statute Law Amendment), 2007 (AARA) and to examine the changes that were made in this legislation as implemented on May 14, 2008. We will look at ideological issues around adoption disclosure and will look at the ways that theoretical framework can be used to examine the concepts surrounding disclosure and the new contact notices and contact preferences. One lens will be chosen to be the framework for our continuing research into this issue.
We plan to provide an overview of the current policy, and a history of how the amendments came to be. The Systems involved will be explained, including information about which levels of government and which agencies will be participating in the process. We will be most interested in seeing how the recent changes will affect the people involved in the adoption triangle.
As information is shared through this blog, and through your input, we wish to examine what impact this policy will have on adult adoptees, on birth parents and on adoptive families. We will do a critical analysis of the policy to determine what is positive and what we find is not positive. Is there anything that can or should be changed? If so, how would this policy serve people better and how could such hypothetical changes be implemented?
We welcome you to join us as we start to explore all sides of this topic.
