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.
