This document was revised to update to more inclusive language, improve readability/understanding in completing the document and allow for authorization for a birth parent to discharge a child into the care of a relative or family member in adoption cases (informal) where an adoption agency or the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction are not involved.

We would like feedback on whether the general public finds this document easy to read, understands where they would sign and that the document makes sense overall (keeping in mind that filling it out would be supported by nursing or social work). Sometimes when working in the medical field you make assumptions that things are easy to understand because you are used to the language – we would like to ensure that it is simple for others as well.
