583.7. Before the identity of the person sought is disclosed, he must be informed of the request for information about him and given the opportunity to register a contact veto or to maintain or withdraw a veto already registered by him. The same applies in the case of a parent of origin whose identity would be revealed if the adoptee’s original name were disclosed to the adoptee.
If the person sought is untraceable or incapable of expressing his will, disclosure of his identity entails, by operation of law, a contact veto. In the event the person sought is found or again becomes capable of expressing his will, he must be given the opportunity to maintain or withdraw the veto.
