It also calls for the establishment of a national registry to track these transfers and ensure that children are placed in safe and stable homes. Overall, Bill 119 s 604 aims to protect the well-being of children in the adoption system and prevent them from being placed in potentially harmful situations through unregulated custody transfers.
