ADOPTION

A subset of family law, this area deals specif‌ically with the adoption of minors and is, for the

most part, a matter of provincial jurisdiction. Much of adoption law is grounded in the various

provincial child protection statutes, but there is relevant federal legislation as well (e.g., the

Divorce Act and the Indian Act). Related topics: CHILDREN AND THE LAW, FAMILY LAW.
