Adoption - confidentiality

What should I do if I wish my identity to remain confidential?

If you do not want your identity to be made known to the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the child you are intending to adopt, you may ask the court to issue you with a ‘serial number’. Any documents sent to the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the child will then show this number, not your personal details. In addition, if you and the parents or guardians of the child have to attend the same court hearing, the court will make arrangements to ensure that your identity remains protected throughout.
