The Adoption (Information and Tracing Bill) was published in November 2016. The Bill states that Tusla - the Child and Family Agency will provide an information and tracing service to persons affected by adoption that will incorporate support and guidance, facilitate contact, provide the information specifically referred to in Part 4 of the Bill and locate an individual if requested.

The Government recently published its Spring/Summer legislative programme and the Adoption (Information and Tracing) is on the Seanad order paper for Second Stage.
