Adoption Information Act

The Adoption Information Act is a law that governs how information about adoption is shared and protected. It aims to balance the right of adopted individuals and birth parents to access information with the need to respect everyone’s privacy. Generally, it allows adopted people or birth relatives to request and receive information about their biological connections, but specific rules vary depending on the jurisdiction. The act ensures transparency and supports informed decision-making while safeguarding personal privacy, helping those involved understand their backgrounds and maintain meaningful relationships if they choose to do so.
