Adoption Record Request
If you were adopted through Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, or are a family member of someone who was adopted through FCSLLG, and you would like to request adoption records, FCSLLG can provide non-identifying records or information that relates specifically to the adoptee. Identifying information of other individuals will be redacted from your records in compliance with Ontario Regulation 158/18 (LINK: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/r18158)
Individuals who are eligible to make a request for records are as follows:
- The adopted person
- An adoptive parent
- The child of an adopted person if the adopted person is deceased and the child is 18 years or older
- A birth parent
- A birth grandparent
- A birth sibling who is 18 or older
- A sibling of a birth parent if the sibling is 18 or older
If you are an adoptee or are related to someone that was adopted in Ontario, you can obtain more information through Service Ontario (LINK: https://www.ontario.ca/page/search-adoption-records).
