  • Current: Finding your birth family

Finding your birth family

Once you turn 20 you can apply for identifying information about your birth parents under the Adult Adoption Information Act.

The Act also determines how birth parents can request contact with a child they placed for adoption.

We can help you with this process and with requesting other information about your adoption from our records.

  • Adopted person

    When you turn 20, you have the legal right to information about your adoption and your birth parents.

  • Birth parent

    If your birth child is over 20 years old and you’d like to find out their name and whereabouts, we can help you.

  • Other family member

    If you have a sibling or other relative who was placed for adoption into another family or adopted into your family, you may want to find details about them.
