The score CD was released by Intrada, many years ago, but is long OOP. I got this for $12 from SAE (like new) and it's a welcome (if somewhat late) addition to my CY collection. General Discussion: JUDICIAL CONSENT (Christopher Young) 1995 Review of Children’s Participatory Rights in Canada D.FSM Board: JUDICIAL CONSENT (Christopher Young) 1995 The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child recommends that adoption should be an area in which children’s participation rights under Article 12 are promoted and protected.
In Canada, adoption proceedings are governed by provincial or territorial legislation. About half of Canadian jurisdictions deal with adoption proceedings as part of their broader child protection statutes the other half has specific adoption statutes. Some provinces and territories also have separate legislation governing inter-country adoption. Footnote 135 Children’s Views, Preferences and WishesĪll adoption statutes in Canada provide that a child’s views are relevant to adoption determinations. Like custody and access and child protection decisions, each of the adoption statutes either directs that “best interests” is a guiding principle Footnote 136 for adoption or that adoption orders must be made according to the child’s best interests, Footnote 137 and determining the best interests of the child includes consideration of the child’s views, preferences or wishes. In the Northwest Territories, the Adoption Act specifies that a child’s views and preferences should also be considered before a decision is made about placement of the child for the purposes of potential adoption. Section 7(4) directs that where a pre-placement report is prepared at the request of the Director of Adoptions, the report must include the child’s views on the proposed placement and adoption. Footnote 138 Similarly, British Columbia’s Adoption Act requires applicants proposing adoption of a child between 7 and 12 years of age to arrange for an authorized person to meet the child and prepare a report on whether the child understands what adoption means, and if the child has any views on the proposed adoption. Footnote 140 Children’s Consent to Adoption Footnote 139 This report must be filed with the court before an adoption order is made. In every province and territory, children above a certain age must consent to their adoption.
In most jurisdictions, the age of consent is 12.
