Lyon wants to do anything but go Back i have not been impressed by him at this ses Axworthy while he found his Solo routine not As awesome As he largely because he detected a tendency on the parts of

report the registry could include a counselling staff to divert parties who could not really handle the possible trauma of a reunion and help to put other parties in the proper Frame of mind for he in other the commission sees the registry As a passive body which Doest seek parties out unless they have already expressed an interest in obtain ing information about their natural parents or the commission rejects suggestion that the registry be Active in cases where a person has been judged to have a deep seated Needt know or be Active Only on behalf of the adoptee by making discreet inquiries As to the natural parents willingness to experience a the rationale behind this latter submission is that if the interests of any party should be it should be he As he or she is the innocent Pawn in the adoption pro the report we Are of the the above reasoning is not the interests of natural parents must be protected just As much As the interests of any party the interests of All the passive registry concept is the Best minor adopters should be Able to use the registry to get Access to identifying information with the consent of their adoptive the report in the Case of adult adopters its not necessary the adoptive parents be the report because the adoptee is an adult and because studies have shown he is usually trying to satisfy a deep curiosity about his identity rather than seeking a new set of if the registry concept is the report there would be no need to allow the director of child welfare and the executive directors of the adoption agencies to retain their discretion to open adoption records in certain they theres no need to limit or better define the courts discretion to order adoption records be opened because the judicial caution that has been exercised in this area evidences that courts have not taken an unduly free the report does recommend adoptive parents and natural parents should All be notified before a court opens adoption if any of these parties cant be reached even More urgent circumstances should be re it also praises the current practice of providing Noni Denti flying information freely and suggests natural parents and adoptive parents be required to provide background information and be invited to update it As time goes the commission says the views in the working paper Are Only and asks members of the the Legal and social work professions and the general Public to com ment on the views ;
