ADOPTED PEOPLE NOW HAVE CHOICE
FOR the first time in NSW history adopted people will have the option to have both their birth and adopted families included on a birth certificate. Attorney General Mark Speakman said this is a significant milestone for adopted people in NSW, as yesterday the Parliament passed legislation enabling a person’s history before and after adoption to be recorded on an integrated birth certificate (IBC). Connections between birth and adopted families are encouraged under modern practices so that children are able to better understand their background and heritage.
