What is the test for having access to a foster child?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society v. C.F., 2016 ONCJ 831 (CanLII):
[306] There was no evidence lead as to the issue of access and whether it would impair the child’s ability to be adopted. C.F. has a good relationship with the foster mother, but I question whether an access order would impair the child’s ability to find a permanent home. I must be satisfied that the access will not diminish, reduce, jeopardize or interfere with the child’s future opportunities of adoption as set out in paragraph 427 of the CCAS v. L.S. & W.D., 2011 ONSC 5850.
