A very good post....thank you Colleen!
The laws regarding the release of information regarding adoption are expected to change this year as well.
From what I understand, it may go along the lines of the open records in BC.
Currently, it doesn't cost anything to apply for and receive your non-identifying information, but once the new laws are passed, a fee will be expected to be in place.
You can download the forms to apply for your non-id and register yourself with the Post Adoption Gov't on the passive registry from their website.
