The Adoption Information Disclosure Act, formally An Act respecting the disclosure of information and records to adopted persons and birth parents, also known as Bill 183, is a former Ontario law regarding the disclosure of information between parties involved in adoptions. Passed by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 2005 and put into force on September 17, 2007, it was quashed two days later in a ruling by Judge Edward Belobaba of the Ontario Superior Court. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_Information_Disclosure_Act#Bill_183 Oct 07 07, 8:54 AM
