Section 583.4
Disposition versions
583.4. A parent of origin may register an identity disclosure veto in the 30 days following the birth of the child. In such a case, the child’s identity is protected, by operation of law, from that parent.
When the first request for information about the parent of origin is made, the parent of origin must be informed of it so as to have the opportunity to maintain or withdraw the veto.
Such an identity disclosure veto by the parent of origin ceases to have effect on the adoptee’s eighteenth birthday. The same applies to the identity protection granted, by operation of law, to the adoptee where such a veto is registered by the parent of origin.
583.4. A parent of origin may register an identity disclosure veto in the year following the birth of the child. In such a case, the child’s identity is protected, by operation of law, from that parent.
When the first request for information about the parent of origin is made, the parent of origin must be informed of it so as to have the opportunity to maintain or withdraw the veto.
