Canadian Post Adoption Search Tools

A lot of search tools are designed to track people down people in the United States, but there are a few resources for those carrying out a search in Canada.

A good place to start, with lots of resources for Canadian adoption, is the Adoptee's Search Handbook. For resources appropriate to your province, follow the "Provincial Information" link and then select the region. Really browse this site, though, because there is good information in all the sections.

Talking to others who are searching in your own province can help to clarify methods and bring new resources to light. Use your favourite mailing list service and look for adoption search and reunion groups. Here's one possible such search to give you a start:

Yahoo! Groups Adoption Search and Reunion
http://groups.yahoo.com/search?query=adoption%20reunion%20&ss=1

For those whose adoptions took place in Alberta, there is an
Alberta Born Adoptees List

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/albertaborn-adoptees/

Other groups also exist for all Canadian adoption searchers, for those from ontario and those from Manitoba.

For adoptions finalized in Alberta, there is a volunteer-run searchable registry that also provides free active searches.
