Announcement 1
October 1, 2010 HB1463 Expand Access / Confidential Intermediaries went into Effect
Announcement 2
It has just recently come to our attention that "some" North Carolina adoption agencies have not been following the adoption statute:
NC GS 48-9-103(e)
Release of nonidentifying information.
(e) If the court or the agency received information from an adoptee's former parent or from an adoptee's former relative about a health or genetic condition that may affect the health of the adoptee or the adoptee's child, an appropriate employee shall make a reasonable effort to contact and forward the information to an adoptee who is 18 or more years of age, or an adoptive parent of an adoptee who is under 18 years of age.
We have recently heard from adoptees who went to the agency, and only then were they given updated medical information which was in their file. We do not find this acceptable, and if this has happened to you, please contact NCCAR immediately, as we would like to keep a list of people and which agencies are not adhering to the law.
Announcement 3
Are you a birth parent who was stationed at Camp Lejeune in Onslow County, North Carolina? Did you have a child during the years of 1957 - 1987, which you relinquished for adoption or had your rights terminated?
If so, please go to the following website http://www.tftptf.com/ for health information which may not only affect YOU, but will more than likely affect the health of the adoptee or their children.
If this is the case, contact the agency which handled the adoption IMMEDIATELY and let them know. If you do not know which agency handled the adoption, please contact NCCAR so we can tell you how to find out this information.
