Apply for post-adoption birth information without re-entering your details

Ontario's adoption records are open, and adopted adults and birth parents can apply for identifying information. The application repeats the same identity and contact fields. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi so you can focus on the search.

Official form and source

Order through the official ServiceOntario service and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Search adoption records — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Application for Post Adoption Birth Information — 11315

What this form is about

The application requests identifying information that was previously sealed in Ontario birth and adoption records, under the Access to Adoption Records Act.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your name, date of birth, and contact information.
• Anything you know about the adoption or the adopted person.

Confirm current eligibility and the process on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Store your details once. Save your identity and contact details in hivi.
2. Autofill the application. Use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside hivi.
3. Add the adoption-specific details yourself.
4. Review and submit yourself through ServiceOntario.

Why do it in hivi

Searching adoption records is emotional enough without re-typing your own details. Stored once in hivi — in Canada, with self-hosted AI — the repeating fields fill themselves.
