Abstract
This project on Adoption and Heritage in the Canadian Context explores the potential meaning and impact of the loss of heritage experienced by many adopted persons in Canada, a country in which preservation of culture and heritage, and equality of citizens, are recognized in the Canadian Multiculturalism Act and Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.A bioecological approach is applied that involves reviewing literature on the psychology of adopted persons and then exploring how the Canadian socio-cultural context may impact this experience.At the level of the individual experience, topics covered include adoption loss and the meaning of heritage, adoptive identity development across the lifespan, adjustment to adoption, diversity among adopted persons, and motivations associated with seeking birth family and heritage.Recognizing the broader socio-cultural context of Canada, issues related to adoption and heritage (e.g., access to confidential adoption information) are explored with reference to the influence of public opinion, current adoption legislation and policy, and applications of national and international law.As well, ethical analyses of conflicting interests and controversies pertaining to seeking birth family and heritage are conducted by applying ethical principles in biomedicine, counselling, and psychology.For counsellors, this project presents questions, guidelines, and considerations for the purpose of developing adoption-sensitive counselling.For other professionals in psychology (e.g., educators and researchers) and the management of adoption (e.g., policy analysts), opportunities are discussed for increasing participation in social justice activities that contribute to ameliorating distress and facilitating the well being of adopted persons and their families.v

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
