Are the birth parents involved?
Under the present legislation in order for a child to be adopted through the Children’s Aid Society, that child is made a Ward of the Crown with no access to his birth family. In this circumstance, the birth parents have no further involvement with the child, other than possible yearly contact through cards and/or letters with the adoptive family. In situations where birth parents wish for their infants to be adopted through the Children’s Aid Society, the adoption worker may present to them profiles of several families waiting to adopt an infant. In this way birth parents are given the opportunity to choose a family for their child.
