Petition to put fathers names back on original birth registrations for Ontario adoptees

For those who are
not aware, please read Cat Hen's following description posted on the new
Ontario Government’s Idea Board: 

“From 1960 to 1980, unwed father's
names were illegally removed/omitted by the Ontario government. Many
parents were illegally denied the right to name the father despite the
law at the time allowing them to. Father's gave their consent. Many of
these people are Aboriginal adoptees who were wrongly taken from their
families. The UN has now asked the Ontario government TWICE to restore
these names of adoptees as it affects Aboriginal rights. The UN Special
Rapporteur Professor Anaya is disgusted that the Ontario government
still refuses to do so, hurting Aboriginal families. Many parents still
want the names put back for adoptees and many fathers are still giving
their consent to do so.”

“Please restore these names as the UN
has requested. Otherwise, how can this be fair and just to those who are
being punished simply for being adopted? They are being denied human
rights that the UN has said numerous times that they are entitled to and
that all other Canadians enjoy.”

Please vote YES on this issue
and share widely. The more votes we can get the better. She is trying to
get the government to restore the illegally removed/omitted unwed
father's names back onto the original birth registrations of adoptees.
To get the Ontario government to notice, we have to give this post as
many YES votes as possible.

To find the post, register then just type in "adoptee" or "birth registrations" and vote on the post when you locate it.

Here is the link for that. Many thanks for your support. ~ Cat Hen

  For
  more information on that, here is the UN report submitted to the UN
  Committee on the Rights of the Child. The report can be found in the 4th
  column from the left. It is called "Canada Looking in Ontario".

  The UN Human Rights Council also told both the
  Provincial and Federal government to put these names back. Both levels
  of government still continue to completely disregard the UN
  recommendation. Both governments are in violation of Article 8 of the UN
  Convention on the Rights of the Child. This also violates the Canadian
  Charter of Rights (on discrimination based on birth status), the Ontario
  Human Rights Code (being denied a government service), the UN
  Declaration on Human Rights, Articles 2, 7 and 25 and the UN Declaration
  on the Rights of Indigenous People, Article 8.
