COAR Questionnaire

This questionnaire only applies to those who were adopted in Ontario and who, as adopted adults, have applied to the Adoption Disclosure Registry (ADR) of the Government of Ontario.

The Coalition for Open Adoption Records (COAR) is preparing a submission to the Ombudsman concerning the workings of the ADR. Please take a few minutes to answer the following questions. Your responses will help to strengthen our submission.

Thanks very much for helping us to clarify your experience so that we can continue in the struggle to open records in Ontario.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael Grand
