How long will the reunion take?
You and your birth relative have control over the manner and timing of the reunion. Some people need more time than others before they are ready to have contact. In those cases where one person is ready for a reunion before the other person, a ‘one way consent’ can be arranged. This allows identifying information (name, phone number, address) to be given by the person who is ready to proceed to the person who is requesting more time. Identifying information can only be shared in this manner if the person receiving it is in agreement. It does not obligate this person to sign his/her consent.
