This is a summary judgment motion brought by the Children's Aid Society of Toronto seeking Crown wardship without access for four children for the purpose of adoption.
The mother opposed the motion and sought dismissal, requesting either return of the children to her care, placement with her sister, or alternatively, access.
The father did not participate.
The court found no triable issue regarding the children's continued need for protection or the appropriate disposition of Crown wardship.
However, the court found a triable issue regarding the mother's access to the children and ordered a focused trial to determine whether the relationship between the mother and children is meaningful and beneficial, and whether an access order would impair the children's future opportunities for adoption.
