Section 583.10
Disposition versions
583.10. Unless the parent of origin has registered an identity disclosure veto, the adoptee, including one under 14 years of age who has obtained the approval of his father and mother, of his parents or of his tutor, has the right to obtain, from the authorities responsible under the law for disclosing such information, the names of his brothers or sisters of origin who have reached full age, whether adopted or not, and those of his grandparents of origin and, to the extent that they consent to it, the information making it possible for the adoptee to contact them.
Likewise, once the adoptee has reached full age, his brothers and sisters of origin, whether adopted or not, including the ones under 14 years of age who have obtained the approval of their father and mother, of their parents or of their tutor, as well as his grandparents of origin have the right to obtain the name given to the adoptee and information making it possible to contact him, to the extent that the adoptee consents to it.
583.10. To the extent that the adoptee and a brother or sister of origin of the adoptee so request, information about the identity of both of them and information making it possible to establish contact between them may be communicated to them, unless disclosure of that information would reveal the identity of the parent of origin although the parent of origin has registered an identity disclosure veto.
