Hospice Is a relateivly new word in health care. The word Itself is a very old one, dating back to the Middle Ages and the time of pilgrimages to holy places. In those days, a hospice was a 'way station," a place where a religious order provided provided special care to pilgrims pilgrims who were sick or dying in their Journey. The word "hospice* is the root for both "hospitality" and "hospital." Little was done about the concept of a special place or a special program to care for the dying for a long' time until recently in Ireland Ireland and England where the idea was revived. This program generated enthu siasm for improved care of the dying in countries all over the world. Today, there are well over 100 hospice programs in operation in Canada alone. The movement is growing, and it appears that most urban areas and many rural areas will have some sort of hospice coverage coverage within the next few years.

V V V a new Approach to Adoption Disclosure in Ontario Not all adopted children grow up wanting to know ABOUT THEIR BIRTH PARENTS. BUT FOR THOSE WHO DO, THE PROCESS HAS OFTEN BEEN FRUSTRATING FRUSTRATING AND INCONCLUSIVE. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, BROTHERS ' OR SISTERS SEARCHING FOR A CHILD PLACED FOR ADOPTION YEARS AGO. ON JULY 6, 1987, AMENDMENTS to adoption legislation CHANGED THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING ADOPTION INFORMATION IN ONTARIO. Non-identifying information, if available, such as the BIRTH FAMILY'S BACKGROUND AND MEDICAL HISTORY, WILL BE RELEASED RELEASED ON REQUEST TO ADULT ADOPTED PERSONS (THOSE 18 OR OLDER); AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADOPTIVE FAMILY'S BACKGROUND BACKGROUND WILL BE GIVEN TO ADULT BIRTH RELATIVES, UPON REQUEST. INFORMATION THAT REVEALS THE IDENTITY OF AN ADULT ADOPTEE ADOPTEE OR A BIRTH RELATIVE WILL BE SHARED ONLY IF BOTH PARTIES HAVE VOLUNTARILY ENTERED THEIR NAMES WITH THE ADOPTION Disclosure Register and consented to disclosure. The CONSENT OF ADOPTIVE PARENTS IS NO LONGER REQUIRED. IF BIRTH RELATIVES HAVE NOT REGISTERED, AN ADULT ADOPTEE - CAN REQUEST A SEARCH. HOWEVER, CONFIDENTIALITY IS PROTECTED PROTECTED THROUGHOUT. IF LOCATED, BIRTH RELATIVES CAN SIMPLY DECIDE NOT TO HAVE THEIR IDENTITIES MADE KNOWN. THE ISSUES AND EMOTIONS SURROUNDING ADOPTION INFORMATION INFORMATION ARE COMPLEX, SO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE IS PROVIDED AT EVERY STAGE. THE PROCESS WILL ALSO TAKE TIME, SINCE A LARGE NUMBER OF REQUESTS ALREADY EXIST. ALL THE NEW PROCEDURES AND SERVICES ARE OUTLINED IN A FREE PAMPHLET, AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND IN FRENCH.
