Family history research and adoption records

Adoption records, once sealed and never to be opened are slowly being made available to the people who need to know about their birth parents and birth families. Whilst there will be cases where one or the other parties simply don't want to know, having additional information to assist you in your genealogical quest has got to be a good thing.

People wishing to locate birth parents or children given up for adoption now have the power of the Internet. Regardless if individuals live in the province of their birth or not, information is just a few key strokes away. Websites such as Origins Canada, Supporting Those Separated by Adoption (www.originscanada.org/) have changed the way people search for family members. Origins Canada's Adoption Records page contains information for each province, whose records are open and those which remain closed.
