Ms. or Mr.,

    Considering that the intent of the adoption disclosure laws, was to protect the identity of  biological parents,

    Considering the disparity in the non-identifying background summaries from one Youth Center to another,

    Considering that article 131.1 of the Youth Act, does not state precisely how the non-identifying background summaries are to be presented,

    I am requesting a complete copy of all my adoption record held at the Youth Center and at the Youth Court, without the Birthparents identifying information.

    I want to have a complete copy, without the Birthparents identifying information, of all the documents found in my records and I want to obtain a letter signed by a judge certifying that I have effectively received a copy of all the documents from my records.

    Therefore, I formally request that these documents be sent to me in the prescribed time limits.

    If my request is rejected, I will use all legal options available to obtain my documents.

Yours truly,

André Desaulniers (date of birth: September second, 1964, Court Order from la Cour du Bien-Être Social, District of Montréal, no.954/72)
