Summary
Please join me for a conversation with Toronto Canada stepparent adopted person Craig Wallace. https://www.ontario.ca/page/search-adoption-records People who are adopted, even by stepparents, are legally barred from accessing a certified copy of their original birth certificate. Some places allow an adopted person to access a noncertified copy at a specified age. The opinions of the host and their guest are just that, their opinions. The host is not a lawyer, a therapist or an adoption professional Thank you for listening
