Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter recently posted an article regarding information about adoption records in New Brunswick.
The Canadian Province of New Brunswick has opened sealed adoption records to adult adoptees and birth parents. Effective April 1, 2018, adult adoptees and their birth parents may apply for access to the identifying information. Only adoptees that have reached the age of majority may obtain the records. In addition to the adult adoptees, the following may also access the records:
Birth parents of adoptees
Adult children of deceased adult adoptee; and
Adult children of a deceased birth parent whose child was placed for adoption.
There are records that span over 100 years.
To apply for this information, adult adoptees and birth parents must complete a form and submit it to Post Adoption Disclosure Services. The forms may be found at: https://tinyurl.com/yamg6nrr.
