Question about Alberta's adoption process - does interprovincial cooperation require both parties to file?
I'm trying to understand how the Court of King's Bench handles adoption applications where there's an interdependent relationship co-signer from another province.
Specifically:
- If the applicant is a 120-year-old entity based in Alberta, and they list a Saskatchewan-based partner as the interdependent relationship co-signer on the affidavit, does Saskatchewan need to file separate paperwork?
- The adoptee in question is 181 years old, has approximately 31 million dependents, and has a documented history of failing to provide basic services (healthcare, reliable power infrastructure). Does the age of the adoptee affect the standard process?
- The adoptee's current guardian has been arguably negligent but hasn't formally relinquished custody. How does that work with international adoptions?
- Is there a standard form for situations where the adoptee is geographically non-contiguous with the applicant?
I've looked at the ADOP0075 and ADOP3590 forms but they don't seem to address these specific circumstances.
