A-7 - Adoption Act

Full text
5. The adopter or one of the adopting consorts must profess the same religious faith as the adopted child.
Nevertheless, the court may dispense with such requirement if the child has already been adopted de facto by the adopter.
The first paragraph shall not apply when the child does not belong to any religion or is a member of a religious denomination which does not require the adopter and the adopted child to be of the same faith.
1969, c. 64, s. 5.
