If you are an adopted adult, over the age of 18, you will be able to apply for a copy of your original birth registration and your adoption order as of June 1, 2009. This information can be released only if there is no disclosure veto registered by the birth parents. If you apply for it, you will receive your original birth name, show where you were born, and give you the name of your birth parents. Actually many adopted people already know their birth name, and they all would know the city of their birth from their birth certificates. Many also know the first names of their birth parents.
Birth parents will be able to apply for information from the adoption order and from original and substituted birth registrations, as of June 1, 2009, if their child is over the age of 19. Once again, if a disclosure veto was registered before June 1, 2009, the information cannot be released. Birth parents will be given the new adoptive name of the child they placed for adoption and the order would show where the adoption took place. It would not provide the name or the address of the adoptive parents. It would also not provide an address for the adopted person.

I think that the new disclosure policy is deceiving - whereas you used to have some support with the Registry, now adoptees and birth parents only get names and places, and have to go around tracking people down on their own. It's deceiving because the government appears to be more helpful by giving out information, but my opinion is that this could be much more intrusive for people.
