New Rules on Access to Birth Registration Now In Effect for Adult Adoptees and Birth Parents

On January 1 , new regulations came into effect to make it easier for adult adoptees and birth parents to access birth registration information .
The Government of Saskatchewan originally announced the changes in February 2016 to provide notice to individuals involved in the 37,000 adoptions that have occurred in Saskatchewan since 1922 .
“ Adoptees , their adoptive families and their birth families have been asking for us to improve access to birth registration information ,” Social Services Minister Tina Beaudry-Mellor said . “ These changes will help support individuals involved in an adoption in learning more about their history , and even potentially strengthening their connections to their culture and birth family , if this is something they wish to move forward with .”
Birth registrations contain information such as the name of listed birth parents , the name of the child at birth and the location of the birth , along with name of the hospital .
The regulatory changes improve access and replace the requirement to obtain consent with the option for birth parents and adult adoptees to file a veto or a contact preference . A veto prevents the release of identifying information . A contact preference indicates how an individual wishes to be contacted .
All adult adoptees and birth parents are encouraged to call 1-800-667- 7539 or visit www . saskatchewan . ca / adoptionrecords to learn more about the new regulatory changes that improve access to birth registration information . They can access forms to apply for birth registration information or file a contact preference or veto .
