I am looking for advice or assistance with filling an appeal of an adoption order. Alberta. Canada. I am the biological

Hello, thank you for the question.  That's an unusual situation.  Can you tell me more?  Don't use details that will identify anybody.

Adoption orders are final, so if you want to undo it there needs to be a very specific reason, such as one of the biological parents not being served with the materials when it should have been easy to do so.

Adoptions are meant to be permanent, of course.  You need a dopy of the adoption order, which you can get from the court file at court if you attend with some ID.

If you are unlikely to be able to appeal the adoption, you can still ask the adoptive parents for time with the child.  If this was done through the child welfare authorities, ask them about the order.  Get a copy and see what it says about your access, and talk to them about getting some.   They might be willing to help you with that.

I hope that helps for a start.  If you want to discuss this further and provide more information I'd be happy to explore this issue further.

I see, so there was a trial held?  Did you have a lawyer?

You have 30 days to appeal the trial result, but you'll likely be able to get an extension for that if you ask for it.  Appeals aren't easy.  If it was more than thirty days, but less then a year or so (covid will have helped you) then contact Legal Aid right away to see if you qualify for a certificate for a lawyer to get you started.

You can apply for the extension with a notice of appeal, and you should be able to get that order from the court file.

Of course, I strongly recommend getting a lawyer to assist, and Legal Aid should give you (if you qualify financially) a certificate for a few hours at a minimum, for a lawyer to prepare the documents for you in your own name.

Is there anything else I help you with regarding this issue?
