OF SPECIAL NOTE:
For people who have applications in under the ‘adoption unit’ in Ottawa, pleae call them or mail in your new address if you have moved. I have spoken to a representative on a file and they close them if they are wanting to correspond with the applicants and they recieve ni reply. If you rapplication was with Alrita make sure your contact address is yours and not Alrita’s office in Prince Rupert. The phone number to call is 1.888.953.6241 and ask what the status of your applications is. You should have received an acknowledgment of your application and they would have given you a file number.
You will have to leave a message with that file number. If you do not have a file number you can leave your full name and birthdate and they can readily check on the status of your file. The ‘adoption unit’ would be corresponding with the adopting parent(s).
