Prior to the current legislative changes, the Ministry of Children and Youth Services provided the applicant with the most up to date information possible about either the birth parent or adopted child, granted that there was no contact veto in place. When the applicants name came up on the list, they would conduct a search for the person using public documents such as drivers licenses, passports etc. It was a very non-intrusive process as they only accessed public documents and did not speak to family, friends or neighbours at the last registered address.
With the implentation of the current policy ( AARA) the Ministry no longer provides the searches. A name and address that was registered with the CAS at the time of the adoption is provided to the applicant and they are required to do the searching for themselves. L.
