6. AIR 3 clarifies to which adoption agency the general duty to keep certain information in relation to a person’s adoption will apply. Generally, the case record for the adopted person, established under Part 3 of the Adoption Agencies Regulations 2005 (AAR), will continue to be kept by the adoption agency that placed the child for adoption. Where that agency has ceased to operate or exist, the agency to which the case records are transferred must keep the information.
