The purpose of Restoring Family Links is to reunite family members who have lost contact with each other because of conflict, disaster or for circumstances beyond their control (considered on a case-by-case basis). If you believe your request may fall within this last category please contact us.
The Canadian Red Cross cannot:
- ship prescription drugs to family members in other countries
- ship money, clothing or other items
- accept enquiries pertaining to child custody, child abduction or child support
- accept requests concerning the reunification of adoptees with birth parents
- facilitate the adoption of children from other countries
- locate persons to settle an estate
- accept genealogical searches
- provide direct advocacy regarding immigration processes.
