Carrie and all... I just had a minute to get to the paperwork and yes, Roo's first mom had to sign and affidavit about her status and that she did not want the Band Council and/or Chief to be consulted regarding placement. So this takes care of the question about whether or not she was required to do that in order to place with CC parents. She wasn't required but she had to stipulate to that. Between this affidavit and the fact she was not a resident of a reserve, the band had no say in the matter.
I don't know how it would be done for children who are permanent with Children's Services. And I don't know if it differs by province.
Refer to Alberta's
Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act (2005, Section 67)
Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act
Just wanted to clarify...
And Tara... I was wrong. I should have looked at my paperwork and not relied on my memory, which is good but not very long. Sorry.
