OPEN RECORDS

Finally on April 23, 2014 the Manitoba Government had 1st of 3 readings of Act 59 The Adoption Amendment and Vital Statistics Amendment Act (opening birth and adoption records).  A milestone in Manitoba.  The Act is expected to become law sometime in early or mid 2015.  To read what is new in the Act go to http://members.shaw.ca/linksadoptionsupport/Bill59.html

Hello Roy!

This is excellent news! What a victory! On behalf of all of the adoptees out here, thank you for all your time and effort. You are truly a hero and a voice for so many.

Once the law is actually passed and in place, do you know what I need to do to obtain my records? I am already registered with the post adoption registry from doing a search for my bio mother almost 17 years ago.

Again, thank you so very much!!!!
